Mini Topic Sentence Still there is the problem that Shakespeare didn’t have any letters or books in his possession (Document 2)
- the fact that not a single letter or book in Shakespeare’s hand has been found and the fact that his will doesn’t mention “books, manuscripts, desk, shelves, pens, paper, or anything suggesting literary interest” can be seen a little suspicious (Document 2).
- But, once again upon further inspection it is not suspicious. People in Shakespeare’s time wrote scripts for the purpose of letting an acting company perform the play—not to preserve the manuscript (Document Mystery). So, the fact that Shakespeare didn’t have any letters or books, or scripts in his possession isn’t evidence against Shakespeare’s authorship because it’s a wonder that any of his manuscripts were published at all(Document Mystery)
IV. Conclusion
“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose; By any other name would smell as sweet.” Contrary to what Juliet has state in one of Shakespeare’s most iconic plays, names hold a lot of power over people. They provide one with a sense of being- they give them comfort and recognition. Which is precisely why this sense of doubt over William “The Bard” Shakespeare is so consequential. Going besides the fact that there is a substantial amount of information pointing to the Bard’s deserved recognition of his literary master pieces – such as his ample education, his plays which bear his name, and his theater background— the uncertainty over his authorship only further reveals the usually concealed human nature which doubts that anyone besides the elite can be successful. This superfluous quality not only defiles the beauty of a person such as Shakespeare who rises above and beyond his social disposition, but also reveals how doubting and snobbish people can be and how it is exactly this attitude which enforces the elite oligarchy –esque individuals to believe that only they have the right and capabilities to be talented—a notion which sets back human growth 100s of years.
