was shakespeare a fraud or a plagiarist?

hehe liked the ditty,

not that i'm an expert but marlow should be much more noticeable as a learning aid than he is,
the sonnet now, like most formal poetry including the villanelle the bastardisation is truly remarkable,
we (well not me) but some now write a vill and it looks nothing like, according to the modern rules though, it would indeed be a vill.
the sonnet came even at an early period in more than one form and thankfully hasn't been bastardised too much.

anyway, back to william. i think he was a man of his time who has a famous sponsor, as such he became more famous than
many of his counterparts. like many if not all poets he took his ideas where he found them. i doubt he copied work verbatum
though he probably an odd term from an obscure manuscript. jmo
