-[a]- In your vision of the Gargoyles Universe, what is the true
identity of the Bard of Avon? i.e., do you side with the Stratfordians and say
Shakespeare's just _that_, or are you more of a Bacon/de Vere type of
guy?
-[b]- Would Shakespeare have any connection (any at all) to the
Illuminati or Rosicrucians?
a] Shakespeare is Shakespeare on any world, as far as I'm
concerned. I've never seen any even vaguely convincing evidence of the
other school. Nothing. This is on top of the fact that Shakespeare was
a minor celbrity in his day. It's like someone 100 years from now
saying that Neil Simon never wrote "The Odd Couple" or whatever.
Frankly, Simon isn't as big a celebrity to us today, as Shakespeare was
in his day. I don't think a secret that big could have been kept
secret. Ben Johnson (a man whose credits no one questions) was
Shakespeare's friend and competitor. Why would Johnson have put up with
a front man? In private and in public? Rubbish.
b] Perhaps.
