Macbeth by William Shakespeare starts with Macbeth after a battle, where he finds three witches. They predict that he will eventually become king.

Both are loosely concerned with chaos, particularly caused by war or violence. In one line, Macbeth calls Lady Macbeth his dearest chuck, and in Love Labour’s Lost Adriano says, “sweet chuck,” not once but twice. Both are used as a term of endearment. Regardless of what some may think, all facts point to Shakespeare writing “Shakespeare.” If it were not for William Shakespeare’s pastoral childhood, life in London, and diction, then it would be possible to consider another person or group to write Shakespeare, but it is because of these reasons that there is no one else possible to write Shakespeare except for
