(378) Autobiographical Shakespeare ?

AUTOBIOGRAPHIC  F O O T P R I N T S 

Some calculations and reflections 

everybody can do !

1.) There can be little doubt that 

the plays of Shakespeare 

contain strong autobiographic 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

Used Word                Frequency (x times)          Number of Plays/Poems        

hid/e/ing/den                        182                                   39
banish/ed /ment/                  166                                   25
shadow/ed/ing/y                   113                                   31       
disguis/ed                               57                                   27    
mask/ed                                  54                                   21
exile/d                                     34                                  12       
dead-living                             32                                   15
feign/ed                                    29                                  15

honour                                   888        
name                                      727      
fame/famous                         107
glory                                        93       
credit                                       75       
reput /e/ed/ation/ing               65                                                                         

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  the   life situations and conflicts, for key disputes and  basic "desires" of the unique, true poet and dramatist :

 Christopher  Marlowe ( alias Shake-speare /+others)?
