Why did boys play the women's roles in the Globe theatre?

Two especial reasons: one having to do with the boys, and another with the women. People even a century ago reached puberty much later than we do nowadays. Boys might be seventeen before their voices started to break and their beards started to grow. Thus older teenaged boys could get away with the girly voice for years while they worked on their skill as actors. Likewise, women's fashions were such as would lend themselves to being worn by boys: the bodices were flattened, making even bosomy women look flat-chested, and no cleavage showed. The skirts were full and the hips padded out so that even boyish derrieres and hips could be made to look feminine. Furthermore, social custom and even laws provided that certain types of people had to wear certain types of clothes, and clothes were expensive so most people had only a couple of suits of them. People got used to identifying other people by what they wore. This not only made boys disguising themselves as girls plausible but made all the plot devices involving girls disguising themselves as boys and occasionally boys disguising themselves as girls much more plausible.

This was considered the place were peasants and such went. Balconies were used for the musicians and sometimes scenes like the famous Romeo and Juliet balcony scene.

How were specials effects made in the globe theatre?

Sound effects could be made with cannon or Musical Instruments or other devices. Thunder might be made by rolling cannonballs around on the roof. Magical appearances and disappearances could be made with a puff of smoke while the actor scurried down the trap door in the stage. An actor could appear to be bleeding if he were wearing a bladder full of pig's blood, which could be punctured. In The Spanish Tragedy, the actor playing Hieronymo has to bite out his own tongue--this was accomplished by having him hold a piece of liver in his mouth which he spits out on cue.

What jobs would actors have done at the Globe Theatre?

They would have rehearsed and acted in plays. And believe me, that was enough, since they had to keep dozens of plays ready to perform at any time, plus learn new ones every couple of weeks or so. Can you learn one of the major parts in a Shakespeare play by heart, together with the actions you have to perform, in two weeks? The actors in the King's Men had to.

Shakespeare and his contemporary Thomas Heywood (who acted at the Red Bull, not the Globe) wrote plays as well as acting in them, but they would not likely have done so at the theatre.

And of course the most important actors owned part of the acting company or even part of the theatre, and there were business meetings about that, but again, they may not have been at the theatre.

Is it wrong to have vile thoughts about your stepfather and to think about killing him?

If he hasn't done anything to you to evoke that kind of response, yes, it's not only wrong but a little nuts. Maybe you should talk to a counselor. No matter what another human does to you it's against not only the law to murder that person, but what divides us as good human beings from becoming like those that chose to harm, maim, rape, sexually abuse, murder, etc. If you are sexually abused or beaten there is help out there for you. If your stepfather disgusts you for reasons of your own such as making you take responsibility, coming home in good time, telling you what friends aren't great to hang around with or do chores around the house, then this is not a good reason to even utter the word "murder", but making you become responsible for your own life. If you are a minor you can seek legal counsel and perhaps live with a relative and if you aren't a minor then you have the control over yourself to get out on your own. I highly suggest as the other poster said that you seek counseling. It appears you are filled with rage and perhaps you have good reason, or, perhaps it is you that needs to simmer down and get some control over yourself. The world is full of rules so get use to it!
