What are two types of plague?

One type is from a bite of a flea that carries the disease. The spot where the person is bitten turns black and forms a pustule. The other type was carried by the air and came from a cough of an infected person ( like the flu). The people who got the plague this way died faster than the people with the bite.


How did the black death effect Shakespeare?

Shakespeare's sister Anne died at the age of 8 from the pneumonic plague, a disease related to the bubonic plague, which was called the Black Death (because of the black swellings or buboes which formed in the lymph nodes). The Black Death or bubonic plague was no longer a problem by Shakespeare's day, although it had killed about a third of the population 300 years earlier, but the pneumonic variety was still a serious health risk.

Why was the black death a complete disaster?

Yes and No: Yes: well obviously yes because historians think it killed at least 1/3 of the people in England and it caused people alot of pain and suffering. No: lots of people don't realise the benefits of people that survived the Black Death. There was higher wafes. No Labour services, More land and lower rents, Better offers, More freedom for the pesants, etc. Answer by Alexsoldier2 The Black Death was a group of plagues that struck Europe and Asia in the middle ages. It was in England from 1348-1350. There were 3 plagues: · Bubonic Plague - This plague caused big round swellings called buboes. These were usually found on your armpit or groin. You had a 30% - 70% chance of dying. · Pneumonic Plague - In this plague you started coughing up blood. This plague was worse than Bubonic but less serious than Septicemic. · Septicemic Plague - This plague got into your blood. You had very little chance of surviving. The Black Death was a disaster because the cemeteries were full they had to bury the dead in large pits, one on top of the other, dug in clay, earth and rocks. These pits were dug outside the town or city to stop the plague from spreading. Parliament was postponed twice because of the plague, none of the members of it wanted to catch the plague! They said "By Reason of Pestilence" because in those times they called the plague 'Pestilence'. People stole things from the dead's houses and pillaging what they found not to be valuable. This was because people were afraid and didn't want to go to their job and sell things, especially in a busy, crowded and dirty marketplace where it was easy to catch the plague. So many people died with so many families abandoning each other. This was because they didn't want to catch the plague of the other members of the family. It was sad time for so many people because their relatives had died. The Black Death was not a disaster because the aftermath of it was that peasants got paid more by their lords because there were fewer of them around to farm the land therefore the lord would be lucky to have them. The peasants started renting and buying more land from their lord, buying nicer clothes and making their house nicer. This is because of the more pay they got. The Black Death helped improve hygiene by people in the streets. This is because they thought it was because of the bad air. People started learning English instead of Latin and French because so many monks had died. This was good because it meant more people understood the language. The Black Death was not a complete disaster but it was a disaster for many as they or their loved ones died.

Was it only Shakespeare's sister Joan who died from the plague?

It's hard to say because the records of their deaths do not show the cause of death. In cases where there is some record of a plague outbreak in the town, plague might have been the cause of death. Three of Shakespeare's four sisters died in infancy, the first two before he was born. All three of them may have died of the plague. The only one to survive was called Joan (she had the same name as the Shakespeares' first baby) and lived a very long life, outlasting all four of her brothers.
