Proof that he wrote the plays himself.

I remember, in class there was this whiz kid student who ended up getting a scholarship to Oxford and then a double first and now works at Deloitte. One time for a presentation he proved incontrovertibly that most of Shakespeare’s output was written by a woman, and when he concluded and it was time for questions none of us could think of a way to challenge him, so our teacher stepped in and had a go, but this kid just absolutely destroyed her arguments one after another, totally amicably, not in a snotty way or anything, just with pure genius, and our teacher ended up getting flustered and losing her cool and telling him he was peddling conspiracy theories and he should shut up or get detention, anyway someone else recorded the whole thing and it was a bit of a scandal at school, everyone knew about it, she ended up leaving at the end of the school year, we never saw her again, I looked her up on LinkedIn and she’s headmaster at some other school, so I infiltrated a Facebook group and sent them the video, suddenly she’s blowing up all over again, it’s like the forbidden video over there, you can’t send it or watch it, it’s like contraband, I remember telling the whiz kid that started it all and he just laughed and was totally magnanimous about the whole thing.

Oh, I'm trans btw. Don't know if that matters...

>>24890231
I mean, Hamlet wants to go abroad to study at Wittenberg, a protestant university.. I don't think Shakespeare really focused on historical authenticity

There’s a pistol in Pericles. (Why does no one read Pericles?)

Cool story bro/sis/furry.
>>24890018
The adults (i.e. not you) are talking about de Vere for the sonnets and Lord North for the major plays, also Middleton for some of the more obscure shit.

Why
>>
>>24890006
All of those were actually true.
>>
He had a clock in Julius Caesar.
How did he not know clocks weren't around in Rome?
>>
>>24890740
if I agree with North as the true author of the plays, where does the de Vere wrote the sonnets come from?
