Why was the Renaissance often considered the beginning of Modern Times?
The Renaissance as the beginning of Modern TimesAny division of history into periods is arbitrary abd is based on a range of assumptions (often unstated). In the Renaissance and the Enlightenment there was a widespread view in Europe that the period between the end of the Western Empire (AD 476) and the Renaissance had been a time when mankind had 'hibernated' intellectually and spiritually - a time of domination by the Catholic Church, a long period of darkness and obscurantism.There was also a widespread feeling that in the Renaissance mankind again took control of its destiny.It was on this basis that west Europeans divided history into Ancient, Medieval and Modern (with various subdivisions). It long been customary to subdivide Modern History into Early Modern (up to the French Revolution, 1789) and the rest of the Modern period.There are problems with these divisions. Firstly, the division is geared to western Europe. The division between Ancient and Medieval doesn't really apply to Byzantium, let alone China, for example. Secondly, many take the view that the 'barbarity' and 'obscurantism' of the Middle Ages is grossly exaggerated in this view.Joncey

Why were the Middle Ages a dark time for learning?
I have spent a fair amount of time investigating education in the Middle Ages, and I have no reason to believe learning was more widespread under the ancient Roman Empire. More people were educated in western Europe of the Renaissance, perhaps, than in the Middle Ages, but I doubt Western Europe of the Renaissance had a higher literacy rate than was achieved in most of the history of the medieval Byzantine Empire, even given the effects of the printing press. Certainly, there were medieval periods when the literary output was well below that of the best years of the Roman Empire or Renaissance. Nevertheless, there were times of similar low literary output in the history of the Roman Empire. And there were periods of the Middle Ages when literary output possibly exceeded that of the height of the ancient Roman Civilization. Our view of the Middle Ages has been very skewed by disparaging commentaries written about the Middle Ages by Renaissance writers, and it was further damaged by later modern historians who were enthralled with the Renaissance and willing to accept their views without doing further research. There is a link below to a related question on medieval education. You might also look at the question on medieval culture, checking the links from that question.
Over time did Medieval plays change subject?
Early in the Middle Ages, there were some secular plays. Then there were plays called Mummings, that combined Christian and pagan elements, and did not adhere to the standards of the Church or authorities. About the tenth century, Miracle Plays and Mystery Plays appeared, and these had Christian themes. Not long after, Morality Plays appeared, and dealt with moral issues from a Christian point of view. In the High Middle Ages and Late Middle Ages, Manners Plays appeared, which were more of a secular nature. There is a link below to an article on Medieval Theater.
