how did he have the confidence or motivation in himself to write timeless plays even with that hairline?

>> No.22708081

Because he didn't exist.

philosophy of baldness will never catch on, i've tried. bald naturalism on the other hand is incredibly popular.

The American, dull commercial pedant that he is, loves slicing people up into quantifiable component parts, measuring this, that and the other, ranking everyone according to some figment of an objective scale. But in the days when the rose of masculinity was in full bloom, and the lusty love of life, the roar of the blood, and the sword-gleam of wit counted for far more than your percentile position on the height distribution chart, a man was taken as a living whole, his face - be it never so ruddy, misshapen or scarred - as the mere emblem, the battle flag of the spirit within him: and no bitter-hearted pedant's comparisons of hairlines or what have you could ever quench the swagger of a truly manly soul.

Rating a man based on appearance is a feminine trait. No man ever cared that caesar was bald

>>22708095
Some of the lesser played works are perhaps some contemporary's. This >>22708087 guy thinks it's Bacon. Other anon thinks he doesn't exist at all. Which is ridiculous.

Nothing wrong with being bald. Women find it attractive, and for the only reason being that it's a male trait. Those that tend to not like baldness are the younger girls. Who naturally want a younger man. Fussy over your or lack thereof is like a woman fussing over makeup etc.

he himself did by wearing a coronet to hide his hairline. So caesar was feminine by your logic

Women find it attractive on men. Yes, usually older women, but as you know many younger women do like an older man. Ten, twenty or more rarely older still. The maturity is a turn-on. Modern culture has many scared of old age though and some can go their whole lives not liking it. But that's like finding men who hate to see their wives without makeup. It takes all kinds. But the #1 trait women of all ages tend to demand is drive, ambition, purpose.
Get passionate about something, and yes, something lucrative, and you'll have a wider range of women eager to talk to you.

Caesar also bathed & groomed himself
Nothing wrong with improving your appearance as much as possible. All men should. But it doesn't matter that much in the end

Marlowe wrote the plays. He is stylometrically indistinguishable from shakespeare.

>> No.22708292

>>22708271
No, just some of the cheaper ones. Authorship of them must have been lost and some fool could only think of the most popular writer if the period and threw them all together.

Also allow for artistic renditions. Shakespeare would have been like everyone else and taken a work by a lesser writer and spun it his way with one degree or another.

People weren’t as autistic about “looksmaxing” like millions of dopamine addicted zoomers are now. They had bigger problems to worry about than “norwooding” or “mewing”

You misunderstand. Shakespeare's plays and Marlowes writing are mathematically indistinguishable.
