In my last post, I described the possible link between William Shakespeare, John Dee and Queen Elizabeth 1st. The following describes my latest research on the characters.
In my latest research, I have stumbled upon the notion of the theory that William Shakespeare (may) have based the character "Prospero" in the play "The Tempest" off of Dr John Dee himself. The titular character, Prospero, is described as fancying the magical/supernatural arts, such as Dr John Dee himself did so as well. In one piece of "The Tempest" - Prospero is released from his bondage (that of a tree).
The symbolism of a tree and its roots can be defined as somewhat meaning "Foundation" - release from the main foundation that be the "norm" or "necessitated conformity". However, as I described before from the 2011 movie "Anonymous" - it is first suggested that some of the plays, if not all, for Queen Elizabeth 1st, were signed "Anonymous" - never revealing the true person behind such viv and magic of the plays playing about before her very eyes.
Two theories:
That of which, if it be so true that she had a secret former lover, that this way she be the only one who knew that was behind the plays, poems and sonnets. Thus would validate (she always sacrificed her happiness for her safety).
The other theory be that of which that if it is so that Shakespeare based the character Prospero off of Dr John Dee, perhaps this would validate Shakespeares connection with Queen Elizabeth 1st. Another importance that can most likely support this theory is the "Dark Lady" mentioned by Shakespeare.
Given the details and the overbearing simplistic complexity of Prosperos Speech in The Tempest, its safe to assume that it can be not only contributed to Dr John Dee but to the Queen herself as well. As it is also known, the theory of which William Shakespeare based his work off of, the political happenings within the British Empire.
Its also safe to assume given the circumstances that William Shakespeare had a purported family to feed and the constant failure in employment - possible to say perhaps Edward de Vere, 17th Earl Of Oxford (thus would have access to deeper levels within the castle walls), played a role in charging Shakespeare with a job in a "playwright" position - also similarily suggested in the movie "Anonymous".
Back to Dr John Dee, however.
Dr. John Dee was considered, although less notably known, as a spy for Queen Elizabeth 1st. If it is said that William Shakespeare based the character Prospero off of Dee, wouldnt this suggest a possible meeting between the two if William Shakespeare was just a simple commoner? If so, it is safe to assume that the Queens secret lover could have been Shakespeare himself or that of Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl Of Oxford. With such a level it be to have that sort of knowledge, it is also safe to assume the concept of secrecy was a norm within the castle walls. In fact, during this age and time period, also known as the Renaissance Era, theological thinking, "thinking outside the box", was more than enough stressed in the education of all scholars, politicians, scientists, writers, war tactitions, religious companies, etc..... So it is also possibly theorized now that if William Shakespeare be the true writer/playwright of all the plays, sonnets and poems we know today - then Im sure the Queen and others have caught on the link between the plays and such to the Queen and the Royal Family and its associates.
In The Tempest, Prosperos Speech, most notably known, sounds of a reference of a love longed for - Could Dee been more than a associate of the Queen? Elizabeth the 1st and Queen Mary, have both showed interest in Magic and Horoscopes, and the like so is it safe to assume this theory?
With such connections and theories abounding - it is safe to say that there is definitely a connection between all three (Dr John Dee, William Shakespeare and Queen Elizabeth 1st). But what connections be those though?
