Don’t waste your love on somebody, who doesn’t value it.

William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

English playwright and poet, Christopher Marlowe, aka Kit Marlowe. Born in 1564, he was greatly influenced by the work of William Shakespeare. There is speculation that he actually wrote some of Shakespeare’s work (as it is sometimes thought Shakespeare was a pen name for a group of writers working during the Elizabethan era). His work often sparked controversy for it’s use of violence, cruelty and “anti-intellectualism.” However, he is also applauded for his realistic portrayal of human emotion. Marlowe died in 1593 at the age of 29.
