Nah not really
Shakespeare may be the better imagist and poet but his plays are not as exciting as Marlowe's. They are very primary-coloured. He also tackles subjects like homosexuality with a bravery and frankness that is lacking in the Bard's work
Shakespeare was jealous because Marlowe had a better hairline. It always comes down to vanity.
No one really gave a shit about that prior to the incel looxmax obsession of the late 2010s.
You can't be serious
I am serious. They didn't give a shit about hairline to the obsessive feminine extent people do now. To claim Shax was jelous of some guy's hairline is just ridiculous.
Ok.
Glad you understand.
Didn't read the bible, I take it? 2 Kings 2:23
> Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!
Those are children and they were mocking him. I'm saying people didn't really give a shit.
God sent bears to kill those kids. God cared. Elisha cared.
God appeared because he was summoned. He didn't actually care some guy was called bald.
>God is a slave to Elisha
I see
Yahweh lives in a fricking box, dude.

I think you are on to something anon.
OP is going to be haunted by the ghost of Shakespeare
In his will he wrote
>In the name of God, Amen. I, William Shakespeare .., in perfect health and memory, God be praised, do make and ordain this my last will and testament in manner and form following. That is to say, first, I commend my soul into the hands of God my Creator, hoping and assuredly believing, through the only merits of Jesus Christ my Saviour, to be made partaker of life everlasting, and my body to the earth whereof it is made.
Him and Daniel were Shakespeare's mentors. He is who Hamlet is based on.
Style analysis has been done of Shakespeare and Marlowe and they are different.
It seems a lot of the old Anglos brought this on themselves
Shakespeare from the get-go is completely different from Marlowe. He is detached, objective and sympathetic to all of his characters in Henry VI, which is the exact opposite of Marlowe.
Also we don't know if Marlowe was an atheist or not. He could have been, but he also could he been on official spy business investigating atheists. No one knows. But we can assume his death was premeditated murder and related in some ways to the spy intrigues of Elizabethan England. All too suspicious! Also we don't know if that's a portrait of Marlowe.
