Here’s The Deal

At some point, modernity has to face facts contained in the historical record and objectively acknowledge the separate, accompanying body of circumstantial evidence.

At some point, fanciful conjectures have to be jettisoned and Shakespeare biographical scholarship has to become serious and not rooted in feel good narratives, not embedded in the make-believe and not foundated on rumours bringing smooth comforts false.

At some point, Shakespeare lovers will have to square themselves with the fact their beloved killed himself; it happens. It should come as no huge surprise or horror the author of the most famous soliloquy in the English language – which can be modernized as ‘Do I kill myself or not’ – took his own life. What is shockingly surprising is that it took 400 years to figure out. That, is shocking.

Here’s the deal: Shakespeare committed suicide.

Shakespeare told us, the historical record points to it and Digges confirms it.
