Activity 5

Yes, I do think that Shakespeare wrote his own plays. But, how do I really know that he did? In a world that was so long ago how do we know what is true is true and what is false is false? All that we really have to go on is the words of other people and what history tells us, a history that could very well be based on a big elaborate lie that we just pretend is real to make life easier on us all. There are arguments going in both directions. One side saying “Why of course all the works Shakespeare claimed were written by him. Utter word genius could not come from many”. While the other side with its good arguments and supported facts, basically say “it is all a conspiracy,” and they claim that some of his works were done by others. There are even facts to back up whatever they say. I believe that for many, without detailed information of Shakespeare’s life it is hard for them to believe that a boy from a small town could emerge as England’s one of its most talented and its greatest writer. Really I think that they are just coming up with stuff just because they do not want to believe that this one man could be so brilliant and talented with his writing and word play. Maybe they are just jealous of how famous and well known a man from such a long time ago is. Really there is not enough evidence to support the ideals of the non-believers of Shakespeare. They basically stretch out the information they already have and try to pass that off as real hard facts and evidence. But back to the main idea, yes I do think that Shakespeare wrote the work under his name and he deserves the credit.
