Did Shakespeare write his own plays?
In my opinion, all of Shakespeare's works are magnificent and if he didn't want to own up to his work then that is an issue that people will have to get over, because its' not like he can tell us the truth! Besides that point, there is some evidence and people who have proved that Shakespeare did do his own work and I believe there evidence is more sufficient then those who believe other people either wrote or contributed to the plays.
Some people believe that Francis Bacon, the Earl of Essex, Christopher Marlowe, the Early of Derby, the Earl of Rutland, the Earl of Oxford, and even Queen Elizabeth I was believed to have done these infamous plays. But most votes are leaning toward Bacon. “…some pretty good arguments out there supporting Oxford and Bacon, they involve far too much speculation to be considered credible.” Says Amanda Mabillard who has some evidence on this controversy. She goes on to explain, “No Elizabethan documents support the claim that Shakespeare's plays and poems were written by someone else, or that the actor Shakespeare was not the author Shakespeare. There is also no evidence to suggest that the name used by this man who crafted the plays, sonnets, and poems was a pseudonym.”
There was many theories were explored, and even the evidence against Shakespeare was pretty strong except that most of them were based on a lot of speculations and made up facts. For example, some people have used early and today kinds of cryptology to decipher who the mastermind was. All in all, I believe that leave well alone as it is. All his work was unique and different and as long as we have it today it should not matter if Shakespeare actually wrote it or not, but I guess there will always be talk and discussion on who the real Shakespeare is or might be.
