Did Shakespeare Really Write Those Plays?

Do you think Shakespeare really wrote those plays?

Answer Question

    I recently read an opinion that _Cervantes_ wrote all of Shakespeare's works. However, after hearing endless arguments over the last few decades, I remain casually convinced that Shakespeare did, indeed, write his own canon.

      There always seems to be controversies about the works of famous people long after they are gone. I don't think it is fair.
      Did or did not, wouldn't really matter to those people as they are long gone, well their families might feel cheated, true.
      But raising such a hue and cry over these matters only rubs it in harder.
      Whoever wrote them, he did so coz he wanted to, becoz he loved to, and he would probably want us to enjoy them rather than fight over them.

        There is a good chance that Shakespeare either had help or, at least some of his works were penned by others.

        There was some question as to who Shakespeare really was. One of the names given was Edmund DeVere.

        Of course he did, that is why they are all called Shakespearean works. Did you know in all of his works, he used over 22,000 different words? Quite the interesting fact huh?

        Some say that Christopher,(Kit) Marlowe wrote Shakespeare's plays? However Marlowe was forced to write Edward 11,(not a woman's play!) because of Shakespeare's brilliant Henry iv parts one and two, and Marlowe was murdered in 1593 anyway, so who wrote Shakespeare's plays then?
