You overlook the rich tapestry of his contributions to literature. Shakespeare's plays are revered for their intricate characters, timeless themes, and masterful use of language. Consider "Hamlet," a play that delves into existential questions of life, death, and morality through the complex psyche of its protagonist. The exploration of human nature in "Macbeth" and the examination of power dynamics in "King Lear" are further testament to Shakespeare's depth as a playwright. Moreover, his language has given birth to countless phrases and expressions still in use today. The beauty of his verse and the richness of his imagery elevate his work beyond mere financial transactions. While it's natural to question historical figures, reducing Shakespeare's legacy to "Adam Sandler" does a disservice to his immense talent and enduring influence on literature and culture.

You're giving a serious response to a dude who thinks Shakespeare was laundering money....in the 1500's.... when that wasn't even a thing that existed

Yes, but somebody might read the BS and be convinced. It doesn't hurt to write this few lines. As Shakespeare said: "To unmask falsehood, and bring truth to light".
