What are differences of William Shakespeare's christopher marlowe's and john donne's work?

Answer 1

Although all three were poets writing at about the same time, Donne never wrote plays. Marlowe and Shakespeare did. Marlowe and Shakespeare were the same age, but Marlowe died at a very young age, so the body of work which he produced was written in a very short time. Marlowe did not have the chance to mature. Shakespeare, on the other hand, was writing for 25 years and his work matured as he wrote. Unlike Marlowe, but like Donne, he grappled with darker issues in a deeper way.
