I think that Shakespeare did exist. Although all of his accomplishments seem like they may have been impossible for one man to complete, I think that he did in fact do all that he is said to have done. Because history is not recorded as well back then as it is today, some people have doubts about Shakespeare's existence. But if he didn't write all of those plays and sonnets, who did? The reason why many people doubt Shakespeare because they cannot believe that he was so brilliant. There have been other brilliant people in history however, so why do they doubt Shakespeare? Leonardo da Vinci was a brilliant painter, inventor, and much more. He accomplished so many "impossible" feats in his time, so why do people think that Shakespeare is not capable of doing the same? Da Vinci created many inventions that only came to be hundreds of years after his life. People even thought he may have been crazy. But today we recognize that there are always some people who exceed what is thought possible of a human being. This also stays true in the case of Shakespeare, and although our records of him are not 100% clear, the story of his life is something that probably did indeed happen.
