Elizabethan Era
The Elizabethan era was an odd time to be around, can you believe they had a holiday for every single month of the entire year ?! for example : January- The twelfth day of january was celebrated for the birth of jesus. February- St. Valentine's day it was just like how we celebrate it in the twenty-first century, buying gifts for their significant others, loved ones while singing, and dancing, and playing games with each other at their local fair. March- Easter was the specific holiday for march , weird right ?, the only thing different about that is the month that it's in. April- April fools day, a great time to be a jester , jesters pretty much took over for the day, causing chaos with all of their tricks, and jokes. May- May day, the summer

    Sports In The Elizabethan Era

    We all know bowling, with modern technology, but have you ever used a lopsided ball to ‘kiss’ jacks? Maybe even heard of fighting roosters with blades attached to their feet. You can see how strange and unusual the sports they played back then were, but to them it was a popular form of entertainment for all. In this Elizabethan Era is when sports just started to become popular with players, and spectators (Alchin "Elizabethan Sports"). Many of Elizabethan era sports were dangerous and violent, one even watching trained bulldogs kill a bull. Three of the main sport categories were blood, team, and individual sports. These inhumane sports were considered ‘blood sports’ due to the blood and gore (Davis Life in Elizabethan days 2007). The spectators…

    Social Norms Of The Elizabethan And Jacobean Era

    Like most great writers, Shakespeare acquired his inspiration from the world that transpired around him. Cultural politics and social norms of the Elizabethan and Jacobean era are revealing too many readers through Shakespearean literature. In the play Hamlet, Shakespeare displayed precise concepts of the time period he was living in. The most evident concept shown in the play is the struggle for power between ruthless monarchs. This is most prominently noticed in the play when Claudius murders King Hamlet “I am still possess’d, Of those effects for which I did the murder My crown, mine own ambition, and my queen” (Hamlet 3.3 57-60). Claudius assassinates his King Brother out of an ambitious greed for the power of Denmark’s kingship. The…

    gilded age

    Living conditions during the gilded age were not healthy. Many people lived in tenements. Life in the tenements was trashy, and the space between each tenement was about one foot. They also did not have any type of plumbing, so all the waste would wash down to the street. Also many people would live in one small tenement. Between 1812 and 1840 the American political landscape underwent significant changes. The most important of these changes was the rise of the formal political party and the struggles for and against this perilous structure. Political parties began to grow, as they grew. Political machines in the late 1800s were corrupt in many different ways. One of the ways was influencing votes through so-called charitable acts. Another way was that they would protect certain criminals in return for monetary support. Some products during this age were unsafe products was the toxic fumes factory workers would inhale. Also the working the task factories would have children do, such as crawl under dangerous machines where adults could not fit. These task would case injury or even death. Discrimination…

    Gilded Age

    The years after the American Civil War have been characterized by Mark Twain and others as “The Gilded Age.” Generally, historians have emphasized the decline of human values, the low state of public morality, greed, corruption and crass materialism.

If so, what caused this marked departure from the past in a nation with such strong religious and moral cultural traditions? Use the documents and your knowledge of U S History to answer the question.…

    Gilded Age

    The time period in American history known as the Gilded Age was recognized for its transition from a nation of the pioneers’ settlements of the American West, to that of huge industrial expansion centered on cities and factories. Inventions, advances in technologies, and revolutionary innovations lead to the unprecedented economic and industrial growth of this era. Improvements in transportation with the enormous expansion of the transcontinental railroad, which occurred even before the demand for such railroads existed, spurred growth in many areas. Technological advances such as the Bessemer process, greatly increased the rates for steel production which soon lead to steel replacing iron for railroad construction.…

    Gilded Age

    The phrase "America's Gilded Age" typically brings to mind the financial exploits and dazzling wealth of the "robber barons": Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, Morgan, Carnegie, and others. The fortunes they made have left us with lasting monuments that, in most of our minds, exemplify the era: mansions in Newport, treasure-filled libraries and museums in Manhattan. The truth however, shows a side that was anything but glamorous, and maybe that’s why no one spoke of the horrid circumstances. The Gilded Age, as Mark Twain coined it, was a society built of “a thin layer of gold over a cheap base.”…

    Feminism in the Elizabethan Era

    In the Elizabethan era women were portrayed as less than equals to men. Male seemed to be the dominate gender and women were to be seen-not-heard. They existed within a patriarchal society. As a feminist himself, Shakespeare shows through his plays how women are ill treated and powerless; yet possess more intelligence than the male characters. This is why Shakespeare creates overwhelming female characters; which is evident in Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew", where the lead female character shows dominance.…
