AB This dissertation analyses the portrayals of William Shakespeare in film and how his personality is crafted despite the limited factual data in his biographies which will contribute to the mythification and idealization of the Bard. The crafting of biographies about Shakespeare often lead to speculation due to the insufficient documents regarding the life of William Shakespeare, leading to a variety of interpretations. This environment is perfect for filmmakers that influenced by academic discourse create narratives that contextualize those scholarly debates. Films like Bill, Shakespeare in Love, and All is True portray different phases of Shakespeare's life, blending historical facts with creative liberties to shape a grandiose image. These biopics not only entertain but also help to perpetuate the myth of Shakespeare and solidify his status as a culture figure and perpetuate the concept of bardolatry.
