Shakespeare

THEORY

People have wondered how Shakespeare wrote all his works. After all, he was an uneducated peasant, a criminal. and had never seen the wider world.

Some like to believe his works were written by Francis Bacon. After all, Bacon was of noble birth and educated. It was far better to believe the works were written by a man such as he.

Perhaps a better explanation was that Shakespeare sold his soul to The Devil in exchange for being made the greatest writer of all time.

Kit Marlowe, Shakespeare's contemporary was aware of the deal, which give him the inspiration for Doctor Faustus, his own greatest work. As Marlowe was killed in a pub fight shortly after, maybe that had something to do with the deal?
