The Shakespeare conspiracy
By: Shawnee Yarborough
Who is the real shakespeare?
The Shakespeare controversy began almost two centuries ago. All the conspiracy is is people saying that there is no way that shakespeare wrote the plays that he did because he dropped out of school and had no education. Christopher Marlowe, Edward De Vere, and Francis Bacon are the believed "actual" Shakespeare's.
Christopher Marlowe
- Born on February 26, 1564
- english playwright
- poet
- translator
- From England
Edward De Vere
Born April 12, 1550
- Sought-after patron of the arts
- Noted by his contemporaries as a lyric poet and court playwright
- Reckless and volatile temperament precluded him from attaining any courtly or governmental responsibility and contributed to the dissipation of his estate
Francis Bacon
- Born January 22, 1561
- English philosopher
- Statesman
- Scientist
- Jurist
- Orator
- Essayist
- Author
- Attorney General and Lord Chancellor of England
The evidence....
All the evidence that they have saying that others wrote his plays is their social status, and their schooling.
Shakespeare
I believe that the actual shakespeare is Shakespeare himself, because I don't believe that someone would use his name instead of their own name. For all we know Shakespeare might have been homeschooled, or might have got kicked out of school because he was smarter than all of the students.
