T2, you're trolling now. Everyone knows that Shakespeare was, and remains, the pen-name of the 17th Earl of Oxford and that his library was donated to said university. Within its volumes you can see his handwriting and some of his noted and cited stuff from his plays. He was raised as if he were Queen Elizabeth's son as he lost both parents before he was ten-years-old. He murdered the house cook at age seven. (!) He was enjoined by the Queen, herself, after yet another duel. You can see much of that personal history used in Romeo & Juliet -- the dude with the hot temper and quick blade is the Earl, himself. The "Prince" is a stand-in for Queen Elizabeth. Cute. Heh. Time and time, again, his adult male character has three-daughters and no sons -- exactly as the Earl lived. Outside literature, his contemporaries repeatedly noted his cutting wit. This was the source of his dueling. The Queen forced him from court and gave him a literary stipend of 1,000 pounds per year. And she was a tight-wad. His most famous quotables come from the Lord High Chamberlain's home. The connection is overwhelming -- and has been known for decades.
