Francis Bacon (1561-1626)

Francis Bacon, who was a philosopher and a writer, is a possible person for why this could have been Shakespeare. One difference though is that Bacon wrote a little bit of poetry but really good quality, therefore Shakespeare wrote a lot of poetry but all a different bit of quality. Bacon’s learning and his memoirs though provide the writing style and good amount of poetry used as the Shakespeare who wrote his main plays. It’s hard to see though that considering how many plays Shakespeare wrote and how the quality was different in each play, when bacon wrote very few plays and extremely good quality. This topic is very hard to come to a conclusion about thought because of this situation. You have many people who could have written one play or a group that would work on the plays and all use the same pen name. The quality of each play changes so there possibly could have been a couple of different people who wrote one individual play and then another person would write another one. They have come to a conclusion of this factor of Francis or any other candidates that could possibly be Shakespeare, who knows if this myth of who is Shakespeare will ever be solved. Even if Francis Bacon is not the real Shakespeare, he wrote a lot of great poetry that contributed to the history of plays and poetry.
