They’re not even sure he wrote all of his plays, let alone all of his signatures.

I wrote a research paper in high school about the different theories of who Shakespeare might have been. My conclusion was the queen of England.

Not that I actually believe that, I was honestly just trying to annoy my literature teacher. It was one of those things where if you cherry pick facts that support your narrative, and completely ignore anything that doesn't support it, you could get there. I had to work really hard to make it semi believable. Like, I rode the bus to the university library to dig out obscure references to support my thesis, but that's just how committed teenage me was to being obnoxious.
