I think an actor and playwrite named Will Shakespeare wrote the plays attributed to his name. But even if he didn't, even if one day it was proven without a doubt that it was someone else or a conglomeration of someone elses, and even though the question might float around forever and ever and ever, I don't think it really matters that much.
I also don't mind so much if F. Scott Fitzgerald plagarized his wife. It doesn't lessen Gatsby in my eyes. But I wonder if I would feel the same way if Gatsby or Hamlet weren't as good as they are.

will stop calling.. I wonder what life would be
like if my phone didn't ring.. would I find new
things to complain about..
-ponder,ponder-
But, as for your ideas on literature.
Very intriguing.
Had a Shakespear never exsisted and truly
was yet another character
out of a stream of characters..
That discover today, I feel would make
no real difference. Easily ignored and
brushed aside. People fear change.
It makes their heads hurt.
Ignorance is bliss.
and the truth is the enemy.
edit: uh.. I like to edit things..
