The Puritans were opposed to just about everything the theater and its patrons stood for. Huge crowds were attracted to some venues like the Globe and those crowds tended to attract certain undesirable elements. These included people like prostitutes, pickpockets, gamblers and drinkers. Puritans felt the bawdy nature of the plays were sinful and that it encouraged crime, drinking, fighting and gambling.
