There are mostly upper class persons in this play, and some lower class ones as well.
Upper-class characters include: Macbeth, Lady Macbeth, Duncan, Malcolm, Donalbain, Banquo, Fleance, Macduff and his family, Ross, Lennox, Siward, Young Siward, Menteith. Lower-class characters include: servants, murderers, The Porter. There is only one middle-class character: the Doctor Who is called to attend on Lady Macbeth. The witches are not of this world, and so have no social standing at all.
You may think from what your English teacher told you that characters are upper class because they speak in Iambic Pentameter. It doesn't work that way. The characters speak iambic pentameter because they are upper class. When Lady Macbeth has her sleepwalking scene and starts talking in rambling prose, her social status does not change as a result; she is still the queen and so is still upper class no matter how she speaks.

What is the social context in The Merchant of Venice?
This is a rather vague question. Some of the characters, like the Duke and Portia are aristocratic. Some, like Antonio and Shylock, are merchant class--upper middle. The servants are a lower class. Personal servants like Nerissa are barely below the class of the merchants, but others like Gobbo are clearly working class types. Shylock is in a peculiar position, being at once respectable as being monied and at the same time socially contemptible due to his religion in the eyes of the non-Jewish Venetians.
