Did Shakespeare actually write the plays that everyone thinks he did?

All of the evidence we have goes to say that he did. That is to say, all of the plays were published either without an author's name or with Shakespeare's name on them, and never with anyone else's name. They were exclusively performed by theatrical companies of which the actor William Shakespeare was a member, and were published by members of that company. Records of the same plays being played at court and elsewhere credit William Shakespeare with having written them. And never anyone else. On the other hand there is no evidence that anyone other than William Shakespeare of Stratford, the actor with the King's Men, wrote those plays. Nobody ever credits them to anyone else. There was nobody else by the name of William Shakespeare that we know of and nobody else called Shakespeare who was a writer. People did not write plays under a pseudonym in those days, and nobody at that time ever suggested that "William Shakespeare" was a pseudonym. You may say that is not absolute proof. Perhaps not, but absolute proof is not required for anything which we regularly accept as true. The proof that Shakespeare did indeed write what he is credited with is more than sufficient for us to accept it as fact.


Why couldn't anybody else write Shakespeare's plays?

Because if they did they wouldn't be Shakespeare's. Many people were writing plays at that time: Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare's plays; Marlowe wrote Marlowe's plays; Jonson wrote Jonson's plays; Middleton wrote Middleton's plays; Webster wrote Webster's plays, and the same for Heywood, and Chettle, and Beaumont and Fletcher.How do we know that Shakespeare wrote the plays? For three very good reasons:Because they are credited to him in published editions.Because a lot of people said he wrote them at the time.Because nobody at the time suggested that he didn't write them.We know now that Shakespeare had help on some of his plays (the published version of one of them officially acknowledges this) just as most other playwrights did. We know also that some poems were credited to Shakespeare which he didn't write, so you can't always go just by the name on the cover. But the name on the cover is corroborated again and again by other references to Shakespeare the playwright and Shakespeare the actor. There is as little reason to believe that someone else wrote everything credited to Shakespeare as there is to believe that the first man on the moon was not really Neil Armstrong but Jerry Garcia.


How William Shakespeare began to plot novells?

He did not. William Shakespeare did not write novels. They were an unknown form in his day. Shakespeare wrote plays which is a totally different literary form. The plots for his plays were almost all taken from stories or history books or biographies he had read or plays by other people which he had seen. He made changes in these plots but he started out with a story he got from somewhere else.

Did someone else write all of William Shakespeare's works?

Shakespeare didn't write most of his work down, and was transcribed by spectators of the audience who wrote down what was happening. But Shakespeare is the author of his works, but probably did join with other writers.
