Will in the World
The writer for a play such as Romeo and Juliet would have needed a very high education, or very good language skills. “In faith, I will. Let me peruse this face.Mercutio's kinsman, noble County Paris! What said my man, when my betossed souldid not attend him as we rode? I think He told me Paris should have married Juliet:Said he not so? or did I dream it so? Or am I mad, hearing him talk of Juliet, to think it was so? O, give me thy hand, one writ with me in sour misfortune's book! I’ll bury thee in a triumphant grave; A grave? O no! A lantern, slaughter'd youth, for here lies Juliet, and her beauty makes this vault a feasting presence full of light. Death, lie thou there, by a dead man interr'd.” A passage such as this could not have been written by a man without a form of education.
After reading this excerpt, my opinion does not change, however I doubt more that Christopher Marlowe is Shakespeare because Christopher Marlowe was thought to be gay. My opinion will probably change after hearing of some other candidate that is a better fit to what is said in what I read in Will in the World.
After reading Will in the World, I have formed the opinion that he is a very fitting writer for the play Romeo and Juliet. He seems to know what it is like to be deprived of his love because he lived far away from his wife for a long time. Also the marriage was not fit because he was only 18 at the time during a period that proper marrying age was 26 for men. Also, Anne was 26 years old, an unsuitable age difference for William because he was younger, which was not looked at very well in society. However he only knows this point of view, and his story was not a tragedy, his marriage was a success.
