Perhaps not. But there is evidence Shakespeare knew N. He wrote him into many of his scripts. If only N. would read him more closely he'd see himself as Shakespeare saw himself — a player.
"All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages."
But N. doesn't want to be a player. N. doesn't accept the script that has been handed to him. N. won't play his part. N. hasn't realized yet that his part is being played by him no matter how much he denies it. He's not willing to learn how to play his part to the best of his ability. He's young yet. Give him time.
