The Beliefs Of Marriage In Julia Lupton's Hamlet

Throughout twelve different plays, Shakespeare has twelve different signatures (Ten reasons). In addition writing from the heart. Shakespeare pour’s his heart out throughout his sonnets, but never once mentions the death of his eleven year old son, whereas Ben Johnson wrote an amazing and beautiful poem when his son died (Ten reasons). This suggests the man who is writing these plays is not the real Shakespeare because he never mentioned his son’s tragic death in his work and had inconsistent handwriting.

Pursuing further why Shakespeare should not be taught in school is because Shakespeare is very difficult to understand. “Shakespeare's way with words can be tough for students to grasp”.(DeBlasis) Shakespeare is a lot to comprehend because the way Shakespeare speaks is very different from today's text”.(DeBasis) Shakespeare is very tough to understand now days

Throughout the last century, a raging phenomenon known as the “Authorship Debate”, has come to light. It disputes whether Shakespeare himself wrote the plays and sonnets or if it was someone else writing under a pseudonym. There are countless theories of who the writer might actually be but the main suspects are Shakespeare himself, Edward de Vere, Sir Francis Bacon, Christopher Marlowe, William Stanley, Roger Manners, Sir Walter Raleigh and Mary Sidney Herbert (Pressley).

Without a doubt, he was a genius: a poet, novelist, critic, and editor, one of the first US professional writers who were earning money exclusively

William Shakspere was born in Stratford-upon Avon in 1564 and died in 1616 at the age of 52. In the mid-19th century, questions had arisen about the Shakespeare authorship controversy, and many scholars wondered whether Shakspere, the man from Stratford, wrote the plays. Ralph W. Emerson once said, ?I can not ?marry? Shakspere?s life to Shakespeare?s work? (qtd. in Bethell 48). In many ways, he was right, some things just did not link up. Many people started noticing this thus two opposing sides were formed. Those who believed

In 1564, a man was born by the name of William Shakespeare. He was born to a poor family, was given little education, and had no interaction with sophisticated society. Thirty-eight plays and over 150 sonnets are not attributed to this ignorant man. Those who believe that Shakespeare was the author have no definitive proof but instead point to Hamlet’s declaration: "The play’s the thing(Satchell 71)." The true author, however, lies hidden behind he name of Shakespeare. Edward de Vere the premier Earl of Oxford is not only considered a great poet in history, but he may also be the great playwright who concocted the sonnets and plays which are now attributed to William Shakespeare of Stratford, England.

One of the most argued cases in history is whether or not William Shakespeare was the one to write his own plays, or if he had someone else write them for him. There are numerous amounts of arguments agreeing that Shakespeare wrote his plays, and then there are numerous amounts disagreeing with his penmanship of “his” plays. According to some sources, Shakespeare was an impractical choice to write such famous works of art due to his lack of traveling, and his lack of education (Hechinge). These theories come into play when explaining that Shakespeare was, indeed, a fraud.

His first job was working as a clerk for a nearby import-export store. He worked there for a while then started to grow a love with writing. His education soon became something he thought was important. He first didn’t get into a church school because his parents were not married. After being denied he didn’t give up, he started the brilliant idea of self-educating himself. Reading everything he could get his hands on is what made him a genius. The library he went to only had thirty-four books some including Roman and Greek classics. He didn’t stop at just reading he started to learn other languages. His mother taught his some French but he became fluent by himself. After all that hard work he was accepted into a all grammar school in New Jersey. After studying there for about a year with Francis Barber he then went to King’s College. It was in New York City and he got his Bachelor’s of Arts degree in just the short time span of one year.

To be or not to be, is a famous question Shakespeare asked his audience in the Hamlet over 200 years ago, yet people are still asking “To be or not to be Shakespeare? That is the real question.” They are like the foolish man believing he is the wise man, going around teaching a false doctrine. They believe that their favorite candidate for Shakespeare is, and always will be Shakespeare. No matter how obvious that there is no way he was ever Shakespeare. Shakespeare is the real Shakespeare because we have no proof for someone else, why wouldn’t they claim it and two of the four head candidates were dead. Shakespeare is Shakespeare.

William Shakespeare, by far one of the greatest playwrights of all time, is clouded with controversy. Rumors run rampant that he was nothing more than a non de plume for someone who wished to keep the anonymity of his identity. There have been names such as Edward De Vere the 17th Earl of Oxford, Sir Francis Bacon, even Queen Elizabeth herself was among those thought to be the true writer of the plays and poems.

Shakespeare’s authorship is being called into question. Reasonings include, multiple indecipherable signatures, the lack of a poet or playwright reputation and missing records. Shakespeare only has six signatures and all can be found on legal documents. Although he is claimed to be a reputable poet, he never had a poet or playwright reputation. There are suspiciously no signatures on any of his works, which creates no record of him being a true author. This evidence leads one to believe he is not an author, but rather a plagiarist. Many authors believe he is still the author with arguments such as the signatures could be a result of different ways to spell the name, or the reputation debate is because he performed in London, but was a businessman

There has been many disputes in the past regarding the roots of Shakespearean writing. Although many believe that William Shakespeare of Stratford was the writer of his own work, others suggest the possibility of another authorship. For the past decades, opposite groups have gathered clues as to who is the true author of the notable plays supposedly written by Shakespeare. The anti-Stratfordians, who do not support Shakespeare’s authorship, have coalesced to believe that a man named Edward de Vere, the seventeenth Earl of Oxford, to be the legitimate writer of Shakespeare’s plays/sonnets. On the other hand, anti-Oxfordians argue that Shakespeare is indeed the author. One of the anti-Stratfordians, Tom Bethell, persuades his audience that Edward

any people believe and didn’t believe Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare. Living in an illiterate household, how could he wrote such strong and creative works that he did with the vocabulary used. There isn’t any documentation of any of his original works by him and there are many famous doubters saying he didn’t write his own works. With that being said I’m anti stratfordian , I don’t believe Shakespeare wrote his own work due to the lack of evidence.
