Can the Real William Shakespeare Please Stand Up?

a.) Why is William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon an unlikely candidate for the authorship of Shakespeare’s works?
Firstly, William Shakespeare had poor education. Besides, his family and him were classified as those in the lowest-income group, meaning that they had the lowest social status in the country. While these plays were usually seen everywhere, meaning that some plays had included other countries’ beliefs and cultures inside, it is unlikely for William Shakespeare, one whom has such low social status to be able to go to other countries to experience it before coming up with plays. Besides, he was uneducated. For a person to write out such plays of such high caliber definitely needs to be highly educated and adventurous to go to other places for inspiration and research.

b.) Who are the possible candidates?
There are a total of 5 candidates: Francis Bacon, Roger Manners (Earl of Rutland), Christopher Malowe, Edwerd de Vere (Earl of Oxford), William Stanley (Earl of Derby).

c.) Who is the most likely candidate for the authorship of Shakespeare’s works? Provide reasons to support your view.
We will do a brief background check of all 5 candidates before deciding on who is the most likely candidate for the authorship of Shakespeare’s works.
Firstly, we have Francis Bacon; many people actually believed that it was him that was the best and most likely candidate. However, as time goes by, we are able to analyze plays at a different level, by knowing their themes. Look at Shakespeare’s plays, they are so brilliant, which highlights the vivid imagination he had and even sometime highlights the emotions of one while Francis Bacon has almost the opposite characteristics; he tends to take things very seriously.
Next, we have Roger Manners. While Shakespeare’s plays were already in theatre, he was still a teen, unless he was a really awesome child prodigy but it seems really unlikely.
Third, we have Christopher Malowe. This candidate is pretty similar to Francis Bacon. Shakespeare’s plays as mentioned were emotional; however, his plays revolved around hard feelings but yet again there are many similarities between them. Besides, he has gotten into trouble with the law and I believe a refined man like Shakespeare will not carry out a misdeed.
Next, we have Edwerd de Vere. Although there are many similarities between their plays, he had died too soon, after he died, Shakespeare’s plays still continued on.
Lastly, we have William Stanley, who actually lived too long.
I personally feel that there could have been at least two people doing the plays of Shakespeare, and one of them could have been Francis Bacon while the other should be William Stanley. Indeed, Francis Bacon personalities differ but we cannot rule out that he treats different groups of audience differently and would change his attitudes and William Stanley could have continued his works after Francis Bacon passed on.
