Just ask Anne Hathaway, you said it yourself she was married to him.

I feel like Shakespeare could be similar to Disney, where he took already established stories that were known prior and wrote them down.

"William Shakespear is perhaps the most accomplished playwright of our time." HE'S NOT FROM OUR TIME! HE'S FROM HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO!

Helen Keller doubted he could do it all? She herself was able to communicate against all odds. Give him a break.

its crazy how the entire root of this conspiracy theory is "there's no way someone who isn't rich could be talented", one person writing a whopping 37 plays and 150 poems over a lifetime truly is not that wild of a feat, many other commenters have brought up people like steven king who has published hundreds of short stories and dozens of novels, far more than shakespeare, and nobody questions whether he wrote his books or not

At the time, it was fairly common for playwrights to use old legends and stories by foreign authors to create re-adaptations and write 'new' plays. Also, Shakespeare was thought to be a Catholic and have learned about Christian and Greek mythology in grammar school and about the world during his pilgrimages in his lost years. To think that education was only available in academic sources is a very elitist idea.

He was real but a lot know he borrowed his works from other sources and adapted them into plays/Anglicised them, such as Romeo & Juliet. I don't think he ever claimed to be the creator of all of his works

Steven King has written something like 200 short stories & like 60 novels. I don't even think he holds the record for being the most prolific writer of all time. Idk why people would doubt this. It's jealousy, I suppose. If you're too talentless to bring yourself to their level, try bring them down to yours. It's the battle cry of the deeply insecure.

It was William and Francis. They were known as Shake and Bake!

it's pretty classist to suggest that, just because of his 'un-noble' background, it isn't possible that he could write so sophisticatedly ://

SOME of Shakespeare's plays were written in collaboration. The majority appear to have been written solo, but some of the plays attributed to him contain the voices of other authors. And at least one, "The Two Noble Kinsmen," was published as a collaboration.

7:45 “You cannot write a hip-hop masterpiece before hip-hop has been invented....” Completely false and not a sound argument. Just because a genre isn’t established doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. That’s like saying gravity doesn’t keep me in the ground because it hasn’t been discovered yet. If this argument was completely true, we would never have hip hop, because there would be no masterpiece. No master piece because the hip hop doesn’t exist? So there would never be a masterpiece.

I really enjoy reading the poetry, and plays of Shakespeare, if this was done by him,or more than one person was involved. Either way the works are pure brilliance.

“Most accomplished playwright of our time” bro he died in 1616

It might even be that the plays were revised after performances, because they were often done improv, by the actors. In that sense, they were the true writers and not really Shakespeare.
