The William Shakespeare Conspiracy

"The Evil the men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones."

William Shakespeare


A mystery lies within the texts of what is claimed to be sonnets, plays and epitaphs from William Shakespeare. With no schooling on record and no traveling experiences, it is hard to believe whether or not the supposed Shakespeare is the real author of pieces like "Romeo and Juliet", "Caesar", and "Hamlet". With questionable humble beginnings as an illiterate worker in a butcher shop, William's sophistication seems to be unbelievable. The fact that this supposed world renowned author had no books whatsoever makes the conspiracy even more (doubted) in the minds of hundreds of beloved readers. If Shakespeare would have had books, he would have given them away in his will, which had every inexpensive item he owned. The final mystery of Shakespeare was the "written" plays that occurred fourteen years after he died.
