Shakespeare did not write his own plays:
I believe from extensive research that Shakespeare did not write his own plays. I have took three different websites and have seen if they are true or false. I went through them and now I believe that Shakespeare did not write his own plays. I believe he hasn't because Sir Francis Bacon had the same writing style as Shakespeare. There are no written documents of Shakespeare's things. Plus most of all many writers say that he did not write his own plays. This is why I think Shakespeare did not write his own plays.

Now to the first part of the thesis. Sir Francis Bacon had the same writing style as Shakespeare. This the most commonly known one out of the three. Many people have said this is a true fact.

    William Shakespeare has come to be known as the world’s greatest playwright, but numerous theories have been proffered that Shakespeare did not in fact write his own plays. Many famous writers including Mark Twain have doubted that given his lack of formal education Shakespeare would have been capable of writing the works he is credited with authoring. Because of the lack of definitive proof, it is very easy to speculate that Shakespeare did not write his own plays. Shakespeare grew up in Stratford upon Avon with a loving mother and father.

    Title: Romeo and Juliet Author: William Shakespeare Publication Date: 1594-1595 Outside source(s): Nearpod Provide significant details about the author (style, philosophies, criticism, etc.): William Shakespeare wrote comedies,histories and tragedies. The criticism Shakespeare received was that he did not write the plays, but that Sir Francis Bacon and Earl of Southampton wrote them. The critics thought Shakespeare was not able to write all those plays himself because it would've taken him a very long time. Shakespear’s philosophies were not the best because you can infer that since he did not leave the best bed to his wife then he probably had a “friend” not in marriage and he left it to her.…

    Just think, all the books he made were eventually turned into plays and all the new words he made were also either used in or brought into existence by those plays. When Shakespeare made his plays, there was always something different about them (All The World’s A Stage book). For example, sometimes the boy actors would be made to look like girls for the play (Shakespeare Eyewitness book). Even though things didn’t always work out the best, Shakespeare always found a way to make his plays memorable and the best they could…

    Missing information, wild assumptions, and facts being used to prove and disprove the same idea all contribute to making the question and answer of the authorship of Shakespearean literature a confusing mess. One might, once again, make an assumption that people's opinions on this topic would be just as scattered and confusing as the topic itself. And once again, this assumption would be considered wrong.

    Sir Francis Bacon, Viscount St. Alban, was a very respected and prominent scholar from the Renaissance, was the designer of the scientific method that is still taught today, and was “a worldly courtier, a talented writer, a learned jurist, and a brilliant philosopher” (Shapiro, Contested Will). He had a vast range of literary and scientific achievements, and pursued basically everything except for playwrighting and poetry. If he had also compiled the one of the most distinguished portfolio of plays and poems in the world, combining two of the most genius minds in the Elizabethan Era, Bacon would indubitably be considered the greatest man of the Renaissance. Also, he cuts a figure much likelier to write the plays than Shakespeare from Stratford because of his higher education, intimacy with the law,…

    Despite the struggle that William Shakespeare endured throughout his life he still managed to become an influential historian, and become successful regardless of his financial, family and career problems. He had a very different childhood than most think he had, and growing up in the Elizabethan era wasn’t the easiest for him either. He took the word success to a whole new level in his time and left a huge impact on the world of theatre as a whole. Shakespeare has been known for his strong writing skills and famous plays, poems and sonnets but behind those famous pieces is a short lived life of endeavors. Throughout his short and difficult life, Shakespeare wrote several collections of plays and poetry that focused on topics that involving the Elizabethan Age which influenced his writings, significantly changed how dramatic performances were received and has had a significant impact on today’s culture.…
