Historian: Conclusion Those who claim that Shakespeare did not write the plays commonly attributed to him are motivated purely by snobbery. ███████████ ███ ███ ███ ██ █ █████ ██████ ███████ █████ █████ ██████ ████████ ██ ███ ████ ██████ ██ ███ █████ ███ ██ ███████████ ███ ████ ██ █████ ███ █████ ████ ███ ██ ███████ ██ █████ ███████████ █████ ███ █████ ███ ███ ████████████ ████████████
Summarize Argument
The author cocnludes that those who claim Shakespeare didn’t write the plays attributed to him are motivated purely by snobbery. This is based on the fact that Shakespeare’s background wasn’t aristocratic, while the backgrounds of those who are proposed as the true authors are aristocratic. In addition, the people saying Shakespeare didn’t write the plays are related to those aristocrats.
Identify and Describe Flaw
The author provides no evidence that the people who claim Shakespeare didn’t write the plays are motivated only by snobbery. Instead, he assumes that their claims result only from the unprestigious background of Shakespeare and the familial ties to those proposed as the true authors. This overlooks the possibility that those who claim Shakespeare was not the author are motivated partly by things besides snobbery.
