How Did Shakespeare Changed

If you want to know some of the differnces between Shakespeares world and our own then continue reading.

If every playwright in Shakespeare's time aspired, as he did, to paint a portrait of an age in their works, his would have been the Mona Lisa, leaving the most lasting impression on generations to come and at the same time, one of the world's most baffling mysteries. Surely it is no coincidence that the world's most celebrated dramatist would've lived during the time when one of the world's most powerful rulers in history reigned. Or was it?

William Shakespeare was an extremely talented and important person from the 1500’s to this day.

Over the course of time the world has seen much change. The world now is very different from when Shakespeare and Queen Elizabeth were still living. Many things have evolved since then and some things have not changed at all or very little. Their world is different from today's because of its technology and laws or rules. It is similar by how people are entertained.

In I Henry IV and II Henry IV, William Shakespeare brings together drama and comedy to create two of the most compelling history plays ever written. Many of Shakespeare's other works are nearly absolute in their adherence to either the comic or tragic traditions, but in the two Henry IV plays Shakespeare combines comedy and drama in ways that seem to bring a certain realism to his characters, and thus the plays. The present essay is an examination of the various and significant effects that Shakespeare's comedic scenes have on I Henry IV and II Henry IV. The Diversity of Society

Shakespere's time is different than ours in two ways. The grammar is one of them. In his time, they didn't care as much of grammar as they do now. Shakespere's language was called "old english" according to the article "Shakespere: words, words, words" by the Utah Shakespere Company. They also said that most grammatical changes from old and middle english had taken place; yet rigid notions about "correctness" had not yet been standardized in grammars. In shakespere's time they really didn't care about grammar or pronunciation like we do.

Emergent large, commercial theatres during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I ((1558-1603) were able to reach an unprecedented level of artistic achievement due to unprecedented socio-cultural changes. These changes included a breakdown of the feudal system of the Middle Ages, the Protestant Reformation and a movement towards Humanism. Despite these radical societal transformations, continuities with the beliefs and structures of the recent past – including the concept of a Chain of Being and a belief in the four humours of the body – are evident during Shakespeare’s lifetime. A demand for labour was created by the rapid rise of industrial towns and the Black Death, which wiped out two-thirds of England’s labour force.

Shakespeare's world and our modern day world have many similarities and differences. Shakespeare's world was one of prim and properness; a world where people thrived on the thrilling tales told at the theatre. They enjoyed stories of love, violence, and drama just as we do today. Queen Elizabeth was their version of a celebrity then. Celebrities make normal things into what the new coolest thing is.

The article titled "Actors in Shakespeare's Day" by Stephanie Chidester says, "actors lived lives of danger and instability". Because of their career, actors didn't have good status in the past. In fact, laws were actually passed to keep people from being actors. Actors had to perform and be approved by the court to legally perform. This is very different from today. Today actors are role models, and are very famous. Actors such as Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. are very popular and famous. Today actors get paid very well and don't have to fight the law just to perform
