What is the portal separating the auditorium from the stage in a theatre?

The portal separating the auditorium from the stage in a theatre is called the proscenium arch. This architectural feature frames the stage and creates a visual separation between the performers and the audience, enhancing the theatrical experience. It often serves both a functional and aesthetic purpose, allowing for the display of stage designs while focusing audience attention on the action taking place.


How were stories with supernatural elements viewed differently in Shakespeare time versus how they are viewed today?

Shakespeare makes use of the supernatural in a number of plays. There are ghosts in Hamlet, Macbeth, Julius Caesar and Richard III. There are witches in Macbeth, Henry VI Part II, and The Tempest. There are fairies in A Midsummer Night's Dream. In the Tempest Ariel is a spirit of the air. In Cymbeline the god Jupiter appears in a dream and in As You Like It, Hymen God of Marriage appears in order to marry all of the couples. What is the effect of all this? In many cases Shakespeare does it on purpose to highlight the difference between appearance and reality. In Hamlet, The Tempest and A Midsummer Night's Dream there is also a play within a play which highlights that the play is only a play, and the fantasies are only imaginary. The supernatural makes the play seem a little more unreal.
