"Did Shakespeare Really Compose His Plays?"

Shakespeare is a name familiar to thousands of people all across the world. And his most famous piece, Romeo and Juliet, is taught throughout the United States in high school education. But, recently, there's a growing debate on the surface. Shakespeare vs. the real author. A numerous number of people allege that Francis Bacon actually wrote the plays, contradictory to how Shakespeare proclaimed. Others don't exactly pinpoint a specific person, but they declare it could've been anyone, but William Shakespeare. So, was the world deceived with the idea that Shakespeare was actually a fraud, convicted of pla(y)giarizing someone else's precious work?

Let's start from the beginning. If you didn't know, William Shakespeare was never formally admitted into a university, nor was he born with wealth and prestige, he was just your average Joe. He only attended a local school for grammar, mythology, etc. Back then, (And I mean waaaaay back) to be decently well educated, you had to be wealthy and Shakespeare was NOT wealthy. Now, wait.. How does a man who knows only the basics, write a formal piece with great vocabulary and knowledge?

If one goes back to see the original piece itself, it has been recorded that he had not left a hint to be traced with himself about his writings. The only reason why all the plays are named his is because of the signatures. The signatures looked wobbly, distinct from the original calligraphy. Going back to square one, it was rare to see those who lived in a lower status with the ability to read and write-- so, how does Shakespeare grasps beautiful calligraphy with poor education? What if those signatures on the plays, was solemnly just for practice?

Though, some may also add on to the point that he didn't mention anything about his plays in his will to be a suspicion, I will argue that at the time, his writing wasn't this worldwide sensation. It was only until after he died, his writings became a big boom the in the world of literature. He probably assumed his writing wouldn't go anywhere therefore, just leaving it out of the will(iam).

Yeah, no. I lean towards (As Hannah would say,) Fakespeare.
