Shakespeare In Love, Romeo and Juliet, the play, Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprioAll these works show very different ideas from the original story and its creation. They each have their own way of portraying the time, characters and themes. Showing a variety of opinions on what exactly was going on in Shakespeare's head as he wrote this magnificent work allows us to be open to our own ideas about its creation. It gives everyone a chance to get their own version of it into their heads. Thus making it a very controversial work. Sometimes ideas and opinions are so widespread that people argue about what exactly the purpose of a certain action or scene was. This is what leads to the creation of different versions.

The main reason for the lack of discussion about William Shakespeare's life is probably that there are almost no facts about him. This leaves a large gap open to different theories and ideas. I can't believe it took me this long to even speculate about his life and times. I often forget about the author when I read novels or plays. I don't do it on purpose, but I'm simply not used to seriously discussing an author's thoughts on their work. I just imagine what Shakespeare would think of the different versions of his work and his life. Would you consider them all accurate? Could he think they are trying to be as successful as his masterpiece? And last but not least, would he think Shakespeare In Love is ridiculous or is it true?
