What was life like in Shakespeare's time?

Answer 1

very horrid hardly any good jobs and you were either poor or very rich .

Actually, it wasn't that bad, but Plumbing would have been nice, and effective medicine. Transportation was much slower, but people were a lot more fit. There was a lot less unemployment and a lot of interesting trades you could get into. There were no Mcjobs at all. The discrepancy between rich and poor was no worse than it is now. The fact that there was no use of electricity at all made a difference.

Answer 3

"When Shakespeare was alive women were treated like dirt. They had no political rights, no educational rights and no religious rights. They were just known as house wives and had no freedom at all."

The above bit of conventional wisdom is not total malarkey, but almost. It is true that ordinary women did not have political rights but then neither did ordinary men until centuries later. It's true that they had no educational rights but again neither did the men. Men were more educated on the average, but there were also well-educated women among the royalty and aristocracy, Queen Elizabeth being a prime example. Very few men were as well-educated as she was. Everyone in England had the same religious rights, irrespective of sex or social status. Everyone in England had the right to be a member of the Church of England and no other church.

The job of a housewife was much more demanding physically and in terms of time than it has been since the mid-twentieth century. In order for people to have clean clothes in good repair, food to eat and a decent place to live someone had to work very hard to make it so. But even so, there were lots of women who could not "just be housewives" because they were widows or had useless husbands or had never married. Apart from the possibility of being prostitutes (a common enough profession but very bad for the health), they could and did make a living by being brewers, seamstresses, tavern keepers, or house servants.

Answer 4

Life in Shakespeare's time was very hard for women. This is because people in those times were sexist and only saw women as house wives.
