To Be or not to Be

The Great William Shakespeare. Actor, writer, lover of the

human condition. He is revered as one of the most influential

writers in human history and the father of many words and 

beloved pieces of theater cherished for all time. So what an

example of a human being. To live so vividly, accomplish 

so much. To inspire the imaginations and hearts of so many.

The question of the age however is how he could have done it.

Many believe that he didn't in totality. That there was a secret

man behind the curtain, writing and inspiring only his own.

Its been suggested that other great minds of the time were 

responsible, many have been speculated but i believe that the

mysterious author in question, the man behind the shroud. I

believe this could be a very real possibility and that it could 

have been Cervantes of Spain, who wrote Don Quixote and 

was considered one of the greatest writers of the most loved 

and greatest writers of the Spanish golden age. They both 

curiously dies in 1616 and a day apart. A coincidence? that 

two of the worlds greatest authors should die less than a day

apart in the same time period? or was one simple using the other

and when one died the other simple faded onto the shadows 

to protect the fact that he'd been a fraud? What the advantages?

Either of these men would have loved to seek a wide audience

both existed in what at the time were the worlds most expansive 

and influential empires the world has ever seen,and in Cervantes

case it gave him a more liberal empire than his own to further 

what could be considered idealistic and perhaps controversial 

writing. but this is just an opinion so please theorize and

give your own ideas
