human actions and emotions


Why did shakespeare feel guity for the death of Christopher marlowe?

You must mean in the movie Shakespeare in Love, where Shakespeare has given the false name "Christopher Marlowe" and believes that his (Shakespeare's) enemies have killed Marlowe by mistake. This is an entirely fictional story for which there is no basis in fact.


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

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.


What plays from Christopher Marlow refer to as Shakespeare?

Christopher Marlowe was a famous English playwright who died in 1593 at about the same time as Shakespeare's first works came out. Some historians believe in the Marlovian theory, which suggests that Marlowe faked his death and began writing under the name William Shakespeare. However, most do not; Shakespeare was already writing before Marlowe's death and had a different style, and the coroner's records are quite clear that Marlowe died of a knife in the eye. Pretty hard to fake that. Shakespeare (like most theatre people of the day) was a Marlowe fan, and made occasional references to his work.


Why is Christopher Marlow Shakespeare's biggest rival?

Actually Marlowe was not a rival to Shakespeare. This is because although the two men were born in the same year, Marlowe died in a bar fight in 1593, when he was only twenty-nine. Shakespeare, on the other hand, had only just begun his writing career in 1593 and none of his work had been published at the time of Marlowe's death. Shakespeare revered Marlowe's work, and modeled some of his own writing on his predecessor's. But Marlowe's unsurprisingly small body of work displays much less variety than Shakespeare's did, as Shakespeare had a twenty-five-year writing career in which to expand his talents, whereas all of Marlowe's work was written in a six-year period.

Did Christopher Marlowe have anything to do with Shakespeare?

Although Marlowe and Shakespeare were about the same age (Marlowe was two months older), Marlowe died before Shakespeare's career really got started. If, as some believe, Shakespeare spent a significant portion of his "lost years" in the London theatre world, he could not have avoided being in contact with Marlowe. What is more, Marlowe's style had considerable influence on the theatrical world even after his death, and must have influenced Shakespeare and all the other young writers of the day. Although the fact that Marlowe died in 1593 and Shakespeare's writing really started to take off at about the same time makes it tempting to wonder whether Marlowe faked his death and took over Shakespeare's identity, it is ridiculous to imagine Marlowe trying to get a grant of arms for John Shakespeare or negotiating the marriage between Susannah Shakespeare and John Hall. ( To say nothing about what Anne must have said when the new Will Shakespeare arrived in Stratford. "Hello dear--My God! Will, you've changed--you look just like Christopher Marlowe!"). Thanks to the enormous research efforts of Leslie Hotson in the 1920s we now have the actual detailed minutes of the Coroner's Inquest into Marlowe's death.


What did Marlowe's death have to do with Shakespeare writing?

Nothing. Shakespeare started writing before Marlowe died.
