They both influenced each others' work. The man who observed Marlowe's work was also Shakespear's teacher. Calvin Hoffman's theory is that secret coded messages were put into Shakespear's sonnets that reveal Christopher Marlowe was the author. The Marlovian Theory suggests that the plays traditionally attributed to Shakespear were actually written by Christopher Marlowe. __Against:__** There is no actually evidence that Marlowe wrote Shakespears plays for him Marlowe was a literature leader back then so a lot of his work was not copied but used as an example for other pieces of work. They may have been born the same year and met in the same city but no real evidence in that either. It seems like Marlowe wrote Shakepears poetry for him but Marlowe only really paved the way as an example for him. They were both wonderful artists and don't see why Shakespeare would need Marlowe's help writing his plays and literature when Shakespeare was a great genius as well.
 * Shakespeare new Marlowe very well.

The five paragraph essay I'm doing is on the ideas of Christopher Marlowe writing oWilliam Shakespeare's plays and the i8deas of Christopher Marlowe not writing William Shakespear's plays. There are many points but I will go through only three. The three I will go through I think are pretty important. They both influenced each other's work, they worked together, and Shakespear's teacher is Marlowe's observer.Based on specific sources, it can be proven that William Shakespeare did not write the plays and poetry attributed to him. My first main point is that they influeced each other's work because they worked for the same lord writing plays for himl. Another side point is that they influcenced each other's work. This gets into my second main point. My second main point is that they influcened each other's work. This may be because they worked togther and shared each other's ideas. Since they also worked for the same lord's cating company, they may have worked together, thus taking from each other's ideas. My last major point is that Shakespeare's was Marlowe. The reason Marlowe became shakespeare was because he was in trouble with the law and then faked his death. He faked his death so that people thought he was gone and so therefore stopped looking for him. He then wanted to keep writing literature so then changed his alias to Shakespeare thus writing his plays under that alias In conclusion, I think that Marlowe did write Shakespeare's plays. Based on specific sources, it can be proben that Marlowe wrote Shakespear's plays and that were attributed to Shakespeare.

981684: (Against 1) Based on several sources it can be proven that Christopher Marlowe didn’t write the plays and poetry attributed to William Shakespeare. This essay will be talking about the three most important facts that support that Marlowe didn’t write Shakespeare’s work. The first fact is that Marlowe was said to be killed when he was twenty-nine. The second reason, which ties in with the first, is that Marlowe’s friends were shady characters, and could have killed him. The final reason is why should we discredit Shakespeare when he has been dead for over 400 years. First, Marlowe’s friends were shady, and could have killed him in the bar. One of his friends was convicted of a crime, and his friends killed him to keep him from spilling what he knows. They killed Marlowe to keep their friend out of more trouble. So, it is very possible that he did actually die on the recorded date. Next, Marlowe’s death was reported to be in May of 1593. If Marlowe was really killed how could he have written any of Shakespeare’s works? If Christopher Marlowe truly died in May then Shakespeare would have had to written his works him self or used someone else. Marlow may have been a good writer, but he has a different style of writing as Shakespeare. Finally, if Shakespeare did actually write these amazing writes then why discredit him? He is long dead. There should be no reason for anyone to theorize against him writing the things he is credited for. Shakespeare did write these plays and poems, or as other people call them master pieces. In conclusion, Marlowe didn’t write the plays attributed to William Shakespeare. Marlowe was killed by his friends to keep him quiet about another friend. He is also dead and why discredit him in any way.

991241 (Against) Literary parallelism does exist between Marlowe and Shakespeare. Far from indicating single authorship, however, it more likely points to Shakespeare's frankly acknowledged debt to his predecessor's language and techniques. In As You Like It, Shakespeare quoted Marlowe in a tribute of obvious affection and admiration:

Mendenhall generalized his conclusions from woefully inadequate data. The more writers he added to his schema, the more similarities he naturally found. Absence of either a control group or application of the technique by other investigators made Mendenhall's "proof" scientifically invalid. He had also used the spelling in modern editions for his word counts, ignoring the fact that variations had been wrought by editors, copyists, and printers.

As for Hoffman's elaborate conspiracy theory, no evidence exists that Walsingham and Marlowe were lovers; there is no proof of bribery or tampering with official records; no contemporary records indicate that Marlowe lived abroad, or anywhere, after his "contrived death"; nor, of course, is there any hint of Shakespeare's complicity in lending his name to Marlowe's "subsequent work." Why was a murder necessary if the object was merely to save Marlowe? Its only effect would have been to subject Walsingham to considerable risk. That the queen's coroner also gambled his position in such a collaboration is an unrealistic supposition. These and other deficiencies in the conspiracy theory make it a much more fragile construction than the straightforward inquest account. The circumstances of Marlowe's death were quite efficiently settled by Leslie Hotson's The Death of Christopher Marlowe (1925). While a conspiracy to kill Marlowe as a security risk may have been inspired by Walsingham himself, Hoffman's construction of a way for Marlowe to have "been Shakespeare" cannot stand analysis.
