Best Answer

Shakespeare did not have any bitter enemies, least of all his fellow playwrights such as Christopher Marlowe or Ben Jonson. Jonson, we know, was a friend and admirer of Shakespeare. Because Marlowe died so early in his career and before Shakespeare really got going, Marlowe didn't have much to say about Shakespeare, but Shakespeare admired Marlowe and included homages to him in his own plays. Playwrights of that time often worked together on plays, and we know that Shakespeare collaborated with John Fletcher late in his career, and many believe he also collaborated with George Poole on some of his early plays. The closest we hear from any of his contemporaries about anyone disliking Shakespeare in any way was Greene in his 1592 pamphlet Groatsworth of Wit, who talked about Shakespeare in rather unflattering terms (calling him an "upstart crow" for example) because Shakespeare did not have a university education like most of the playwrights of that time.
