1. He wrote all of the works for which he is given credit by himself.
2. He wrote some of them with the assistance of other playwrights and the rest by himself.
Academic opinion inclines toward the second theory. No person who has seriously studied the subject believes that Shakespeare was not the primary writer of all of the works credited to him.

No, Shakespeare wrote them.
He was a gentleman; his father had been given a coat of arms.
Theory 1: Yes he wrote all of them. Theory 2: He wrote at least part of all of them, but some of them were co-written with other playwrights. This is the frontrunner at the current time. Theory 3: Sir Francis Bacon wrote them, and for some mysterious reason had them credited to Shakespeare, and wrote everything else he wrote in extremely tedious Latin to cover it up. Theory 4: Christopher Marlowe wrote them, after faking his death and living incognito. He got Shakespeare to take the credit so he wouldn't blow his cover. Theory 5: Edward de Vere wrote them, but likewise credited them to Shakespeare for some strange reason. Some people think that aristocrats were only allowed to write plays if they were so bad that nobody would perform them. Theory 6: Doctor Who wrote them. At least as plausible as theories 3, 4, and 5.
There are a number of possible theories as to which plays Shakespeare wrote, and also which ones he wrote without a collaborator. Some say he wrote Edward III, some say not, although he was not given credit for it. On the other hand, he was given credit for writing Pericles, Henry VIII and Macbeth, and there are a lot of people who are pretty sure that some other writer had a hand in those plays. There are several theories as to which one it might have been. The Two Noble Kinsmen was credited to John Fletcher and Shakespeare as collaborators, but for the longest time many people believed that Shakespeare had not collaborated on that play. There is a theory that Shakespeare was a collaborator on George Peele's Edward I, but didn't get credit for it. As you see, there are numerous possible theories involving Shakespeare writing things he was not credited with or not writing parts of the plays he is credited with. Theories that he didn't write anything at all have been advanced, but the evidence is so strongly against them that they are not worth considering.
