England in Shakespeare's day, was as it is now, very class-conscious. Shakespeare, himself, went to great lengths to inch up the social ladder by getting a grant of arms so he could call himself "William Shakespeare, gent."
Shakespeare was not very well-disposed to ordinary working-class stiffs, even though they formed a significant part of his audience. Common people are portrayed unsympathetically in Henry VI Part II, Julius Caesar, and Coriolanus. Shakespeare pokes fun at the would-be actors in Midsummer Night's Dream. But Shakespeare was a bit of a snob; some of his contemporaries, like Thomas Dekker, were champions of the common man.
