Members of the middle class belong to the socioeconomic group that falls between the upper class and the lower class. They typically have a comfortable standard of living, stable income, and access to education and some degree of financial security.
Shakespeare was not born into the upper class; his father was a glove-maker and his mother came from a family of farmers. However, through his success as a playwright and actor, Shakespeare accumulated wealth and social status, allowing him to live a comfortable lifestyle and interact with members of the upper class.
