Chapter 4 has come out for North America (and Australia). It's all about Shakespeare's plays-- Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, etc.
Have you ever questioned his authorship though? Who really wrote Shakespeare?
There's a lot of arguments for and against his authorship.
What's your opinion?

I'm just going to say Shakespeare. The idea that Francis Bacon wrote the plays seems a lot less likely.

I read that in his will he didn't mention any of the plays or poems or many sonnets he wrote.
Was he famous in his own time? If so, not mentioning these kinds of things seems kinda odd, right?

I don't think he was extemely famous while he was alive. So I don''t see the point in mentioning any of his works in his will. Personally, I wish they had all been burned or lost after he died. :P

I just assume it is a pen-name for a person or a group of people. Similar to how religious books are created by people, and not a deity.
Regardless of who wrote it, the stories are still there.
Well, for Shakesphere's case, it is there to torment whoever takes English/Literature classes with teachers treating Shakesphere works as life/death.

Unfortunately, it is not really possible to trace back everything 100% accurate
We can only assume that Shakespeare exists based upon what we know.
Debatable, but you can't really disprove him.
Thats why a time traveling machine would be handy.
but we dont have one

You only become famous after death.
Ex: Shakespeare and Emily Dickinson.

A lot of famous poets/writers were not well known until after their death.
A prime example of this would be Emily Dickinson, she only showed her work to close friends and family members
she requested that after her death her poems are to be burned but instead her sister got them published.
If her sister hadn't done so no one would have ever have the privilege to read some of her amazing work.
