yet Shakespeare's motivation

is consistantly cited as monetary in the foremost. The sonnets
are most often proposed as a commissioned work. Of course there
are complex motivations in any writing, but the current acadmeic
premise is that Shakespeare's fundamental reason for writing was

over and over again. He loved the theater, sure, but he was
a businessman at heart.
