What gave William Shakespeare the idea to build the Globe Theatre?
It wasn't his idea. He had nothing to do with the concept. The brothers Richard and Cuthbert Burbage had inherited from their father The Theatre, a playhouse north of London in Shoreditch. This was the first successful building built in England specifically to perform plays in, built long before Shakespeare was involved in the theatre scene. The Lord Chamberlain's Men played at the Theatre for a couple of years, but the building was built on rented ground and the landlord was a jerk who didn't like actors and he refused to allow them to perform plays there. For three years the Chamberlain's Men performed at the Curtain and the Theatre sat there unused. Then Richard and Cuthbert had an idea. While the landlord was away from London, they would get their carpenter friend, Peter Street, to dismantle The Theatre, and take all the timbers to a different property, and then use them to build a totally new theatre. (Which would be called the Globe) They were a little short of money for this project so they asked their friends to kick in a little. One of those friends was Shakespeare. So, as you see, Shakespeare had very little to do with the building of the Globe, and it is totally misleading to call it "Shakespeare's Theatre".
What theater did Shakespeare rebuild?
None. Shakespeare was an investor in more than one theatre but was not the main investor or the carpenter or anyone in charge of rebuilding. You may be thinking of three possible theatre construction projects that went on in Shakespeare's day. 1. The rebuilding of the Blackfriars Theatre. James Burbage had bought the hall of the Old Friary at Blackfriars and transformed it into a theatre with the aid of his carpenter Peter Street. However, the London authorities would not authorize it for adult theatre, so it was leased to children's companies. Finally in 1608 it was decided that adults could play in it so it was bought by some of the sharers in the King's Men (including Shakespeare) and refurbished. 2. James Burbage had built the first successful purpose-built playhouse, The Theatre, in 1576 and it was used by his sons, Richard the actor and Cuthbert the theatre manager. They had some problems with the landlord, however, who closed it down in 1595 and claimed ownership of the building. The Lord Chamberlain's Men were forced to relocate to the Curtain Theatre while the negotiations dragged on. In the end James died and Richard and Cuthbert inherited his theatre. Rather than let the landlord get it they had Street tear it down and salvage what timber he could. Using the salvaged materials, their own money and money obtained from new investors (including Shakespeare) they built a new theatre in Southwark, which was the first Globe. The Globe used the timbers from the Theatre but it was a totally new building. 3. The Globe had thirteen or fourteen good years. Then it burned down during a performance of Shakespeare's Henry VIII in 1613. It was rebuilt (with a tile rather than a thatch roof to make it less flammable) very shortly thereafter, but Shakespeare had by that time retired from the theatre business and so had nothing to do with it.
Whats ironic about the conversation between Paris and Juliet in act 4?
cos Juliet and the audience know she has no intention of meeting him at the church to become his wife - as she is already married and we know she has to find a way out of it - plus the chorus tells the audience 2 lovers 'take their life' so the audience can safely assume she will be dead before Paris tries to claim her anyway
How was the setting show to the audiance during the performance at the Globe Theatre?
Mostly through dialogue. The scenes change quickly and only such set pieces as were necessary for the action would be used: tables and chairs for the feast in Macbeth or the tavern in Henry IV Part I; a bed for the bedroom scene in Othello (probably concealed at the back of the stage); a throne for the throne rooms in Henry VI Part I or Henry V. The thrust stage with its balcony and concealed space at the back was totally unsuited to any kind of backdrop, and there were no flies or wings to move scenery into. The audience had to use its imagination, with the encouragement of the script. "Think, when we talk of horses, that you see them printing their proud hooves in the receiving earth." (Henry V, Prologue)

What is persuasive speech?
It is when you want to make others believe that what you are saying is totally true. For example, let's suppose that you are delivering a speech about "getting 10 years younger just by taking a pill for two weeks". Your audience may think that that is utterly impossible; nevertheless, you have to make them change their mind by using all your strategies, so that your audience, or part of your audience, will believe that you are right.
