How did guilds affect the end of feudalism?

Guilds played a significant role in the decline of feudalism by promoting economic independence and urbanization. As skilled artisans and merchants banded together in guilds, they established standards for trade, quality, and labor, which helped to create a burgeoning middle class. This shift in economic power undermined the feudal lords' control over peasants, as more individuals sought opportunities in towns rather than remaining tied to the land. Consequently, the rise of guilds contributed to the erosion of the feudal system and the emergence of a more market-oriented economy.

Were the medieval organizations of craftsmen called unions?

No, in the Middle Ages, crafts organizations were called guilds, and their function was rather different from the function of a union. The guilds regulated trade in the craft, including standards, who could be involved, what the educational requirements were, and to some extent the market conditions, prices, and so on. Guilds also formed alliances with other crafts guilds, just as unions do, but also with trade guilds. Sometimes these alliances actually took over the governments of towns and cities. The Hanseatic League, which was an international organization, was an alliance of the local guild alliances, and it entered into its own treaties, had its own military ability, and waged its own wars.

How did theatre influence life in the middle ages and continue to do so today?

Shakesspeare.Actually Shakespeare is Elizabethan, not Medieval.…The church used liturgical plays to teach stories from the Bible, called Mystery Plays, and Miracle Plays which told stories from the Lives of the Saints. Eventually trade guilds such as masons, glaziers, and carpenters took over performing the plays. Later, they began performing plays like Everyman which used personification and religious allegory to teach moral lessons. Today, plays which are heavy-handed and obvious in their underlying thought or theme is called a Morality Play, like those in he Middle Ages.
