This question is both too vague and too specific. Too vague in that a great many things were going on in society, and too specific in that social changes generally take decades to run their course, not the month or two it takes to write a play. But in general Shakespeare lived in a time of great social change, of the upsurge of the middle classes, the advance of therenaissance, religious turmoil and the increase of both scepticism and superstition, and an increasing sense of the accountability of kings to the will of the people. England became increasingly powerful and prosperous in Shakespeare's lifetime, yet the nobility became more frivolous, more arrogant, and less credible as the Stuart period approached.
