    Elizabethan Era brought me great joy, mainly due to the fact that Shakespeare just makes me happy; I think this is actually the case with many people, they just don’t know it. My love of Shakespeare and his plays grew exponentially in high school when I had a teacher who brought her love for him into the classroom and opened our eyes to how modern he really is. This love reached all new heights when I traveled to London and saw Shakespeare Reduced performed live in traditional English fashion!…

    and etiquette in Elizabethan England is hygiene. Can you imagine living in a world without running water or plumbing? Where bathing was rare and toilets were nonexistent? A world without toothbrushes? These are all things that the people who lived during Shakespeare's lifetime had to deal with. Hygiene has come a long way since 1600. In Elizabethan England, hygiene depended on your social class. You got what you could afford. When considering hygiene in Elizabethan England, the first thing that…

    I must proclaim, what a sight for sore eyes! The once sharp-tongued scorpion has transformed into a mere mosquito; with all the power in her bite and sting coming to a halt. Katherina’s harmony is finally agreeing with my ravishing melody; an occasion as rare and anticipated as Caesar’s comet.

But of course, those trains of thought…

    What kind of woman wouldn’t fit in the Elizabethan society? A woman like Lady Macbeth from the “The tragedy of Macbeth” by Shakespeare. Shakespeare lived in England during the Elizabethan Era: where the ruler of the kingdom was a woman: Queen Elizabeth. You would think “since the queen is a woman, then women should be considered the same as men and have the same rights”. But, even if it’s hard to believe, women had a really limited role in the Elizabethan society. Lady Macbeth was written to go…

    grave. This paper focuses on Othello’s philosophical position on gaining concepts of knowledge, and throws light on Othello’s language which at some point discloses his position as an empiricist, not as a rationalist. I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement, and reasoning, confirmed by independent observers. I'll believe anything, no matter how wild and ridiculous, if there is evidence for it. The wilder and more ridiculous something is, however, the…
