Comparing Hamlet, Macbeth, And Othello

Stratfordians believe that William Shakespeare was the true writer of many great plays like Hamlet, Macbeth, and Othello. This belief may be true, but there are many pieces of opposing evidence showing that he did not actually write these plays or poems. From the lack of information about his life, to his lack of education, there is almost no true reason that he could have written such amazing plays. There are many pieces of evidence showing that an earl named Edward De Vere wrote these plays. De Vere was a well educated nobleman with a degree from Oxford University. He had knowledge of the places most plays were set, and had a perfectly wide enough range of knowledge to be able to have written these plays. Because playwriting was considered

lower class during his time period, and because the contents of the plays and poems written were considered obscene and improper for a nobleman to have written. Also, De Vere could have given the plays to Shakespeare because he himself being a nobleman, did not need the money from the plays that he could have gotten, whereas Shakespeare and his family had money troubles, and could do more with the plays than De Vere could. We believe De Vere used a man named William Shakespeare as a front for his work .
One of our biggest arguments is that, because Shakespeare had such little education, it is very hard to believe that he could have written plays, poems, and other works with such an amazing level of workmanship. It is highly more likely that a man with a higher level of education like Edward De Vere could have written these works. Most of Shakespeare's supposed plays were set in Italy, which is a place he has never been recorded to go to. Meanwhile De Vere had been to Italy, which makes it understandable that there is so much well written description of the set which would have been very hard to write for Shakespeare seeing that he had never been to or seen Italy. Another point connecting to his education is that most of Shakespeare's family was illiterate and could not read. This gives no reason that Shakespeare would be an exception to his families illiteracy, and this just furthers the point that Shakespeare had little education and could not have written these plays with such attention to detail and descriptiveness. His families illiteracy just leads us to another large argument
