However, the Oxfordian theory raises legitimate questions about biographical gaps and the depth of knowledge in the plays that align with de Vere's life. While the chronological issue of de Vere's death before some plays were written is a significant hurdle for Oxfordians, the debate persists due to unresolved stylistic and biographical ambiguities. The scholarly consensus remains with Shakespeare, but the absence of definitive evidence leaves room for continued speculation."
