Some calculations and reflections everybody can do !
1.) There can be little doubt that the plays of Shakespeare contain strong footprints and traces from its authors life . - The author, the "true" Shakespeare cannot possibly have invented the amount of important traits, pschological key themes and motifs without incorporating his own deep (emotional) multilayer life experiences.
2.) It wouldn’t make any sense to discuss Marlowe's authorship under his penname "Shake-speare", unless we accept that he didn’t die but was forced by the crown (W.Cecil) to abandon his deadly threatened „first life“ (...a glorious life as the famous poet and Superstar of Londons stage), to feign his death, live a second hidden, concealed (banished) life in an inner or outer exile, with a permanent loss of his name (identity) and former reputation, disguised under masked identy(ies) and name(s) writing under varying pennames (such as Shake-speare)! .
3.) You may convince yourself that these life features dominate Shakespeare‘s plays in a very conspicious and abundant way by giving some simple „calculations“ with the help of todays internet Shakespeare Search Machines (such as „OpenSourceShakespeare“ and „Shakespeare Searched“) a meaning !
There you learn how often and in how many plays Shakespeare used specific terms/words , such as

Academic Shakespeare experts do not estimate such "statistical" approaches! For William Shakspere, living throughout his live between Stratford and London, these excessive samples as "life motives" are barely to be understood.
Why William from Stratford should have used these expressions in such an abundance? Isn’t the frequent use of these terms a clear indication for his life situation and conflicts, for key disputes and basic "desires" of the unique, true poet and dramatist : Christopher Marlowe ( alias Shake-speare /+others)?
