WHAT' O!SAY DOES That star-spangled banner yet wave' mean
over
freedom
its about independance and since francis Scott key was captured and when he saw the flag after the attack he started writing a poem and the military claimed it as the star bangled banner
Assuming it is a triangular banner with 50 stars going around the words, "no R's allowed," then it symbolizes the Star Spangled Banner. It is "Star Spangled" because it has 50 stars going around the words. It is a banner because, (1) it literally is a triangular banner, and (2) the R's are aren't allowed, hence banner.
well it ment that there was a baner flying at the top of the globe theater
It depends what you mean by "Shakespeare's theatre". Do you mean the theatre which was built in 1996 and is called Shakespeare's Globe Theatre? Or do you mean the theatre company which he joined, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, which was founded in 1594? Or do you mean the tradition of Elizabethan theatre of which Shakespeare was a part, which started in about 1560? It could be any one.
Usually meant that there was a play that day and it revealed what show was playing, mostly to advertise the show.
No, the terms are not synonymous. In the phrase "Elizabethan theatre" the word "theatre" does not always imply a building, but more often the style, customs, practises, plays, playwrights and actors which defined the theatre community in London during the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603). It can also mean a building built during that period specifically as a venue for play performance--what was at that time called a playhouse. The Globe Theatre was only one (although the most famous one) of these Elizabethan playhouses. Others included the Rose, the Swan, the Curtain, the Fortune and the Red Bull.
If a black flag was flying, it meant that the play would be a tragedy
Do you mean the Hulk David Banner?
I'm assuming you mean when a play was about to be performed in the Globe theatre or one of the other Elizabethan theatre during Shakespearean times. If so, then people knew that a play was about to begin because a trumpet would be sounded.
When the flag was flying atop the Globe Theatre, it signified that a performance was scheduled for that day. The color of the flag indicated the type of play being presented: a black flag for tragedy, a white flag for comedy, and a red flag for history. This system allowed the public to easily identify the genre of the performance, attracting audiences to the theatre.
At the time the lyrics were composed, 1812, banner was another word for flag.
WHAT' O!SAY DOES That star-spangled banner yet wave' mean
Do you mean the Star Spangle Banner? If so Francis Scot Key wrote it after he saw that the American flag was still flying over Ft. McHenry as the British shelled it.
If you mean to describe a time that was not Elizabethan, you could refer to the time before or after the Elizabethan era, such as the Tudor period or the Stuart period.
