Global Theater in Shakespear's Time
VISITING THE GLOBE THEATER

As my favorite, William Shakespeare is one the best writer to me. He is widely considered to be greatest writer in English language and the greatest playwright of all the time, I guess. He have a lot nice plays such as Macbeth, Hamlet, Titus Andronicus and the one that love most is Romeo and Juliet. These plays are generally classed as Shakespearean Tragedy. Now is November 10th, 1600 in England, for one more time, a new play, also classed as Shakespearean Tragedy, this latest play named Julius Caesar.

I enjoyed a lot of Shakespeare plays from the beginning until now. I never miss any of it because all of the play are so nice and of course I can not miss this play also. This morning people hang on a big red sheet on the theater which mean today people would present new play. The play was so nice, amazing. Let me tell you about the play, the theater. This morning, I saw the theater company settles into the Globe Theater, on the banks of the River Thames. The Globe was a three-story wooden structure with an open-air courtyard in the center. Actors performed on a raised platform stage within the courtyard. The theater could hold as many as three thousand spectators, many of whom stood in the part of the courtyard near the stage known as the out, These customers, call groundlings, paid the lowest admission charge, usually just a penny. Richer theatergoers like me had to pay more and sat in the partially enclosed galleries, or inner balconies, which surrounded most of the courtyard. Me and other audiences became emotionally involved in performances, openly showing our pleasure or our disappointment. We cheered, booed, hissed, and sometimes threw rotten vegetables. It’s so funny you know. We applauded agile sword fighting and dramatic sound effects such as blares of trumpets, drum rolls, and claps of thunder.

I forgot to tell about this, England now during the flowering of intellectual activity known as the Renaissance. Shakespeare

    From the inside, the globe theatre was just like I had expected it to be, the walls were decorated with carved- in paintings that had probably faded away throughout the years because you couldn’t see much of them now. The room was brightly lit by the sun and there was a massive stage in the middle where the actors acted out. At the back of the stage there was the musician’s gallery where the sounds took place. At the entrance I had to pay 5 pence for my seat. It would have been better sitting where the upper-class citizens (gentlemen’s rooms) sat but I was short out of money and thought it was too expensive, it would have cost me one shilling! Although it must have been worse for the lower –class citizens because they had to stand to watch the show.…

    When Shakespeare was a kid going to grammar school, a school open to boys only by the way! they learned Latin, Greek and rhetoric, persuasion through logical argument. Students read Latin and Greek writers to learn about the history of ancient Greece and "the glory that was Rome” and this material was translated by them into English or French after many hours of work. I 'm glad the school curriculum of the 21 st century has evolved and we no longer spend our days doing boring stuff like that! Their old-fashioned, subjects that have little relevance in the modern world of the internet and space travel. The question is: shouldn 't we allow our education system to further evolve and file Shakespeare in the same drawer where we 've stuck Homer, Plato and Ovid? Given the society of North America in the 21 st century, Shakespeare 's relevance is declining with each new technical advance. The purpose of this essay is to prove isn 't it time to address this question head on, even at the risk of causing legions of English teachers to collapse in horror?…
