One difference is that Shakespeare added a lot more detail to the characters. In the real story, the characters might have been more basic. Also, Shakespeare made the language so much more poetic. The real story probably had a more simple way of telling what was going on. And the ending might have been different in small ways. Maybe in the real story, the events didn't unfold exactly as dramatically as in Shakespeare's play.
