Elizabeth. In fact, Shakespearean sonnets have the same form as Elizabethan sonnets. The first name is for the writer who used them extensively, the second name belongs to the period during which Shakespeare wrote them (named for the reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth).

∙ 13y agoThere is no character of Queen Elizabeth in the play Romeo and Juliet. You might be thinking of the movie Shakespeare in Love, which is about the writing of Romeo and Juliet, and in which Queen Elizabeth is indeed a character in that film.
Many people only think of this question superficially. Although the Queen is never mentioned, her influence is definitely there. She ruled with strict morals, and Shakespeare's characters directly violated them. The fact that characters are self-destructive may mean that Shakespeare was describing what can happen when people go against these morals.

What are the differences between A Midsummer Night's Dream and Romeo and Juliet?
Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream are like partner plays: they are written in a similar style and there are many similarities between them. But it is as if they are mirror images of each other. R&J is a tragedy; Dream is a comedy. Dream uses the Pyramus and Thisbe story as a source of amusement; the tragic story of Romeo and Juliet is a similar story. On the other hand, in R&J, the story of the fairies (Queen Mab) is a dream, but in Dream, the fairies are the reality. In Dream, the law, after threatening to separate the lovers, allows them to unite; in R&J it pushes them apart.
