Everything was quiet‚ too quiet. As the two opposing sides face one another in the battle field‚ you can hear the wind howling in agony. This war has gone on for centuries and nobody knows when it will end. For as long as the truth isn’t revealed‚ no one is willing to back out. This is the scene that comes into my mind as I try to personify the two opposing sides of the Shakespeare controversy. For years now‚ the Stratfordians and Anti-Stratfordians fought. And their reason of fighting‚ the identity
