Period+6+Edward+de+Vere,+Earl+of+Oxford

This is where you will construct your presentation -- your persuasive argument for the debate to support Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford as the writer of the works currently attributed to William Shakespeare. NEGITIVE ONE Based on www.trivia.com/b/who.really-wrote-shakespeare-plays-christophermarlowe...,it can be proven that William Shakespeare plays and poetry can be sttributed to marlow. The evidence that has been colleceted says Marlow is the writer of the Shakespeare's plays. The three main evidence points are Marlow agrees with Shakespeare as well as Shakespeare agrees with himself, frequent similarites say Marlow and Shakespeare are the same person, and there is no evidence that shakespeare even went to school but Marlow did.

Their have been reports saying that Marlow and Shakespeare can be the smae person. Even though people have reported this, Marlow died before some plays ans poetry were written. Even though people documented his dealth in 1593 there could have been a mistake or Marlow could of faked his death. So why can't they be the same person?

A second piece of evidence says Marlow and Shakespeare agree together. Some people say they wrote the plays together but only Shakespeare to credit for them. So could have Shakespeare and Marlow worked on the plays and stories together? The third piece of evidence is there is no documented evidence saying that Shakespeare even went to school. There is evidence that Marlow went to school. So if Shakespeare didn't go to school how did he learn to write so well? Marlow went and became a successful writer. So why could Marlow be the writer instead of shakespeare?

In conculsion I beilve Marlow and Shakespeare are the same person. I can prove it by reading other people information They say Marlow died but did he really? I think it was a fake so that shakespeare can go by one name. So i say they are the same person that goes by two names.

POSITIVE ONE Based on many sources claims and facts, Edward De vere the Earl of oxford, is the true author of the works currently attributed to William Shakespeare. De vere was a well educated individual who was known to write in his free time. Born to blood, well traveled, and a known writer, De vere is the perfect candidate for the real authorship of Shakespeare’s work.

Being middle aged during the time period in witch majority of the works were written, and sonnets hinting at an older individual as the writer supports de vere, however this could be said for other candidates as well- but de vere has many other supporting facts. Along with the age grouping, certain works parallel events in De veres life, and even describe the events in witch they parallel, for instance “Young men falling out at tennis” a quote from one of the sonnets is a direct reference to a quarrel between Oxford and Sidney.

Another reason De vere easily fits the role is his social class, leaving him with knowledge of many things a commoner like William of Stratford wouldn’t know, however this is also shared with other candidates. What sets De vere apart from the others even though they’d all be under the same circumstances is that he is the only person with the reason to use the alias ‘Shakespeare”. Edward De vere Earl of oxford’s crest was a lion brandishing a spear, and boasting the nickname “Spear-Shaker” for it leaves an easily readable link between him and his alias yet would allow him to publish his works anonymously

To close things up with many facts supporting De vere including his social stature, Education, the parallels between the sonnets and his life, it cant be argued that their isn’t a strong argument in De veres favor. Edward De vere Earl of Oxford, a well educated, known writer, who just so happens to have a crest and nickname that resembles the “Shakespeare” alias, as well as having parallels between events in sonnets and his life, and little evidence against him, I must concur Edward De vere is the real writer of Shakespeare’s work
