William Shakespeare's life is still a mystery hidden between time and truth. His grave, date of baptism, and documents are the only things that support that he was an actual person although some doubt it. Some claim "Shakespeare" was a penname for a group of three men because of the three distinct styles of writing while others say it could have even been an incognito woman. The mystery still remains because his grave has not been opened. The epitaph reading-
"Good Friends, for Jesus' sake forbear,
To dig the bones enclosed here!
Blest be the man that spares these stones,
And curst be he that moves my bones."What is buried underground is still a mystery. Whether he wrote the couplets, people have not looked beyond the casket to see if the remains are of William Shakespeare or simply a pile of rocks.
