What type of people became actors in Shakespeare's time?
In Shakespeare's time men were the actors. The first woman actress played Juliet in Romeo and Juliet.Before Shakespeare's day, travelling rogues and cheats often passed themselves off as actors. When members of the nobility and even royalty began sponsoring permanent companies of actors, people who were more stable began to get into the profession, but there were still many wandering actors with no company who were not at all respectable, and the stigma stuck.Shakespeare was unusual among theatre people of his time in that he was married and had a family. Most did not.
Why did Malcolm Saville name the dog from his series Macbeth?
Leonard Malcolm Saville [1901-1962] was the author of a number of series for the children and young adult reading public. Perhaps the series for which he is most widely known is the Lone Pine series. Among the most endearing and enduring of the series' characters is the children's dog Macbeth, whose tragic name often is shortened to Mackie. The dog is so named, because he is a Scottie. And in another way the name is appropriate. For Mackie is as courageous and ferocious in a fight with minor rogues, as was the historic Macbeth. And as was the case of Macbeth, Mackie quickly is cowed by the more ruthless of scoundrels and villains. And yet unlike Macbeth, Mackie is 'not so happy, yet much happier'. For he never sinks below a certain level of canine conduct, and therefore is allowed to age, slowly but surely and gracefully.
How do you use you will all laugh at gilded butterflies in a sentence?
In William Shakespeare's tragedy King Lear, the old fool of a king uses it in a sentence as such: No, no, no, no! Come, let's away to prison. We two alone will sing like birds i' th' cage. When thou dost ask me blessing, I'll kneel down And ask of thee forgiveness. So we'll live, And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh At gilded butterflies, and hear poor rogues Talk of court news, and we'll talk with them too- In these modern times I suppose we would say it as such. We and we alone will sing like birds in a cage, and be good to each other, and when you ask for my approval, on my knees I will beg your forgiveness. So, we will live, pray, and sing, and tell tall tales, while we laugh at gilded butterflies, and listen to poor bums mutter news of politics and we will listen and talk to them too. Or, perhaps just say: Like all things and people pretentious we will laugh at gilded butterflies!
How were actors treated in Shakespeare time?
The reputation of the early Elizabethan Actors was not good and any were viewed as no better than rogues and vagabonds - actors were not trusted. The standing of Elizabethan Actors improved when the purpose-built theaters were introduced and some of the Globe Theater actors became the equivalent of today's superstars. Travelling Elizabethan Actors were considered such a threat that that regulations were imposed and licenses were granted to the aristocracy for the maintenance of troupes of players! Actors would be asked for these credentials - they were treated with suspicion! Plays were regulated! Plays were subject to censorship - the content of plays was checked to ensure that they did not contain political or religious elements which might threaten the state! Elizabethan plays were often bawdy and the audiences were rowdy!
What was happening in England when Shakespeare lived?
Quite a lot, actually. Shakespeare lived in the transition period between the late Middle Ages and the early Industrial Age. Ideas of honour, or chivalry, of nobility and noblesse oblige, of a world centred upon the teachings of the church, were on the way out. Ideas of commercialism, of pragmatic morality, of reward based on merit, and a world which could be understood by human reason were on the way in. At that time the two ideas were in conflict, so you could find knights who were absolute rogues like Sir John Falstaff.
