What did Shakespeare Apply for in 1596?

Shakespeare did apply for a coat of arms in October of 1596. But not William Shakespeare, the playwright. It was his father John Shakespeare who made the application although no doubt it was William who was the big push behind it. The application has the word "player" written on it which means actor, and suggests that although the application was in the name of John, it was William who was really applying, since he stood to inherit the grant of arms as eldest son.


Is Othello a play about a person who has a big nose in a shakespeare play?

No. The play about the guy with the big nose is Cyrano de Bergerac, a great play but not by Shakespeare. It's by the French playwright Edmund Rostand. Othello is a play about a man who is induced by a man he thinks is his friend to become so jealous of his wife that he decides to kill her. He only finds out that she was completely innocent and faithful after she is dead.


Who was the main character in a pound of flesh by shakespeare?

Actually, there is no play by Shakespeare called "A Pound of Flesh". The phrase is an important phrase in Shakespeare's play The Merchant of Venice. Originally the main characters in this play were Bassanio and Portia, but as time went on, more and more big name actors wanted to play the main character in the subplot, Shylock, to the extent that Shylock is now considered to be the main character (along with Portia). The "Merchant of Venice" himself, a character called Antonio, is not the main character of the play.

How big were William Shakespeare's crowds?

Shakespeare didn't own the crowds; they did not come to the theatre just to see him act or just because he wrote the play, although his plays and acting were popular. The Globe Theatre, which was his main venue from 1599 on, had a capacity of 3000, so that many people might have attended one of his plays. That many might also have attended any of the plays written by other playwrights which were performed there by the company he belonged to.

Why did the witches made it their mission to kill Macbeth in the play The Merchant of Venice?

If this is perchance from the play The Merchant of Venice by William Snakesbeer, the one in which Howard and Juliet are murdered by Othello, the king of Denmark and his daughters Regan, Goneril and Joyce, then it was as revenge for getting food poisoning from a Big Macbethburger. If, however, you are alluding to the works of William Shakespeare, there are no witches in The Merchant of Venice and the ones in Macbeth don't make it their mission to kill him. You need to find the Snakesbeer version.
