QUESTION 3

Is this love's labor no
longer lost? A scholar
believes that a play
written in the 18th
century is very likely
based on a missing work
by William Shakespeare.
Other experts, however,
are unconvinced.
Brean Hammond is a
professor of English
literature at the
University of Nottingham
in England. After years of
analysis, Hammond said
he's positive that Lewis
Theobald's 1727 play
Double Falsehood has its
roots in Cardenio.
