Connections+and+Relationship+to+Shakespeare



Both Marlowe and Shakespeare we born in the same year. Both Shakespeare's and Marlowe's works were dramatized in the Rose Theater in London, where at the begginning Marlowe was the star, and Shakespeare learned from him, and took the top spot away from him. It was believed Marlowe like Shakespeare and other Elizabethean authors or citizens was believed to be a homosexual eventhough they both also had relationship with women. It was also believed that when Marlowe was believed to have died, he might not actually have, and continued to write under the name of Shakespeare, this theory was believed by a few reputed authors in the late nineteenth and the twentieth century. Some philosophers even say that during the time he was said to have died he might have been sent to Italy, where he wrote in Shakespeare's name and sent them back to England to be published. Philosopers actually came to this theory because some lines in some of Shakepeare's works were totally identical or very similar to Marlowe's earlier works. Most of the similaries came be seen in the book //The Man Who Murdered Shakespeare//, by a author named Calvin Hoffman. Both of the poets were said to have been the best at what they did during this time period although most people consider Shakespeare to be a bit better than Malowe.
