I agree with David Tennant that the one who wrote the plays was clever because if they weren't so well thought out and well played, then we wouldn't be able to remember the plays and use them as great examples of literature today.

For Shakespeare to create these words are astonishing due to the fact that in his time, the common people would have little knowledge of education. So I think these words were made up so that it can be more understandable for them.

David is one of the people that does not really care if Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare but a lot of other people do have concerns if he did write it. I agree with David on when he says he does not really care who wrote it either but if it was more people helping the power of collaboration took place.

shakespeare made up a lot of words and phrases that we use today and if it wasn’t for him we probably wouldn’t have the word play that we use

Apr 13
ms Noor Nasser
ms Noor Nasser
:
Shakespeare could have had someone helping him write the plays.
Apr 13
I disagree with this because the argument is that he was just a tool because if a Duke did something of this sort, it was seemed as something embarrassing. Why can’t the common person be successful?
Apr 13
It does matter because it is interesting to learn why the person would write it.

Apr 13
I agree with what David Tennant says about Shakespeare being ahead of his time. That he was a man of many words and he is the man who wrote many of the words we still use today
Apr 13
He is the only writer, play writer, who has made up words and phrases so why not still acknowledge it.
Apr 13
There are multiple people who can write like him yes but why not put your name on your work to show how close to his writing you are?
Apr 13
