Why are so many literary people so full of shit? Shakespeare

>Shakespeare dropped out of school at 15 and probably didn't even write his plays. They were probably written by Francis Bacon, which makes more sense since he was well to do.

Only people who are ignorant about Shakespeare’s work and times would think that.

First, Shakespeare’s family was not that poor. His father was even mayor of the Stratford for some time, and his mother was from a well-known rural family. It’s probable (almost certain) that William went to a Grammar School for quite some time, and do you know what they taught at schools that time? The name “Grammar Schools” already says a lot. Yeah, that’s right: grammar, especially Latin grammar. History and the Sciences were hardly a subject of teaching, but Latin and English, figures of speech, rhetoric, oratory, Ovid, Virgil, Seneca, metaphors and similes – that was the main thing kids learned at that time. It’s probable that a kind in Elizabethan England schools was having a better education to invest in a poetry career than people on literature courses on University in our own time.

Also, Shakespeare’s works are filled with imagery based on things that a country boy would have witnessed himself. More than that, it is know that Shakespeare’s father worked as a glover and owned a tannery, and images of making gloves and working with the skin of lambs and cattle are to be found only on Shakespeare’s work.

Finally, Ben Jonson was also a child of a poor middle class family and did not attend any University, and still he was one of the most learned man of his time in the subject of Latin and Greek literature.

Wrong. Shakespeare was a literal retard who just shit like, everywhere. He didn't speak until the age of 9 and never learned math. It was impossible that he could have written anything.

Francis Bacon most definitely wrote them while Francis Bacon's essays were actually written by Milton, while Paradise Lost was actually written by Alexander Pope, while Pope's poems were actually written by Samuel Johnson, while Samuel Johnson was a fictional character created by Harold Bloom whose critical writings were actually created by a collaberation between DFW and Pynchon who meant to play a joke on the academia, some of whom took this Bloom character too seriously.

>William went to a Grammar School
Lol, but it shows so much that he dropped out. Not the sharpest tool in the glove shack.

>working with the skin of lambs and cattle are to be found only on Shakespeare’s work.
And what does that prove? Could have just been Bacon allowing the country bumpkin to show a little of himself. One vomit in the middle of a feast.

>Ben Jonson was also a child of a poor middle class family
Marlowe was more dominant than either in his time, and came from a better family. So using that as leverage, it just strengthens the hypothesis that Bacon is the author.

>Literature is about what those fags wrote, not their lifes
A facile saying and a hasty generalization. Explain why books like Mein Kampf were banned in Germany, even though other political tracts as venomous, but without impact in history, were allowed to stay on shelves.

Why do you want to feel as if Bacon was the author?

If it is unknown who the author is, but many people think it was a person called Shakesphere, but everyone does not actually know, so pretend we all have absolute ignorance, why do you want it to have been Francis Bacon instead of a man named Shakesphere, we are both trying to figure out your ulterior motive and source of your projections in this moment.

So far it seems as if the appropriate theory is that you are from an upper class family, and would not like to admit that an individual born in a lower class family could offer anything of value to the world, then, because it might follow that there is a lower class individual in the world right now that is better than you, so we must we admit attempt to reason away those possibilities, because instead of doing anything good we must feel good about ourselves
