The course is Introduction to Who Wrote Shakespeare, never did I see the words, who wrote??
What are they talking about?? Another crazy conspiracy theory? Do I truly care who wrote all this magic? Why so people continue to want to rain on my parade!!! STOP IT!!!
I do not need to know all the secrets, I just want to read and understand all of Shakespeare.
If I called him, Rufus Cartwright, would the words still speak to me.
I only know these plays and sonnets from Will!!
Being vexed, a sea nourished with a lover' fears;
What is it else? A madness most discreet,
A choking gall, and preserving sweet.
Romeo and Juliet

Well it is not Rufus!! Williams Shakespeare wrote that, I don't want to know any different, but I will continue with the course, and dare them to convince me!!
They ( professor at University of London) ( is that a real place?) ( Trump has me second guessing Jesus!) ( now this) use many words critical thinking, duh! and something to the effect of a dialog
with the deaf, now I know deaf people are probably mad!! I am listening with both ears, and no heart, but I am so trying to hear both sides.
There is no literary paper trail!! WHAT??? very few signatures, cannot prove he attended any school past 6 grade, his children were illiterate ( the person who wrote Macbeth's children?)
They think that this William Shakspere ( different spelling) the theater person, was a broker for plays. Would buy them and maybe borrow them? for his own?? I just do not believe that. Surly those people would have said, " Hey, that is my play!!" you thief. Stratford at Avon person called Will.
There are no letters, no property exchanges and documented, no logical narrative proof!!
He did have a will and left his wife a second hand bed!!! my Shakespeare would have left her his manuscripts, his blood on the paper. There were no books, that he had read, to pass on, no bible with his family name inside. NADA, nothing personal . They know when he was born, 1564, he married at 18, had 3 children, ran the London Theater Company, did someone make this up too? or is there some paper? Birth certificate, Marriage license? and for which man are we talking about, there are two different spellings.
Was my genius author, a recycle of others works, a re-tell others stories, and pen his name to it? Or were these works written by others, and why use another name. Would you not want credit of what you wrote?? Thomas Heywood, Ben Johnson, sooooo many names of men who may have had their hand in these masterpieces, I choose to not believe it!!
AND does it matter? To historians yes, it matters. To me, it matters that you are messing with my brain, and love of Shakespeare, so stop it. I do not like to entertain doubt, I don't want three hundred handwriting specialist to bicker about signatures, it was in the 1500, the ink may have smeared by now!!!
Just to let you know, even if you could care less, both sides have very good arguments.
AND I am only have way through the course, I keep saying, I am not going to finish it!! It makes me angst, I think Will may have been one of my past loves, and now you tell me that is just not true either!!
I lean, all in, to William Shakespeare, I need to. I recognize some flaws in the story, but I can live with that. Its a lot like Life, choice is everything. Research, educate yourself, kicking and screaming, and then decide. Some people don't believe in evolution, their choice. There are those, that believe only one religion works, again, a choice. I cherish the words from this person, William Shakespeare, whomever you may have been.
Also Thank You Miss Wells, for guiding me down the path of this man or myth. You will be proud to know I am re reading all of his works, and Chaucer, in your honor.
Call me, a reader of Shakespeare, all in head, feet and heart!
