Skakespeare is known to be a great writer in the Elizabethan theater, in his
tragedies he set up the passions, vices, human weaknesses and especially its
consequences, namely, the fall and death of the hero.
Othello is the tragedy of
jealousy, Macbeth, that of ambition, King Lear, one of selfishness, Romeo and
Juliet, that of hatred and love.
At that time the parts are more exuberant and optimistic.
They speak of death,
domestic horrors, incest in large families.
The first Elizabethan authors are from the great universities of Oxford and
Cambridge: John Lyly, Robert Greene, George Peele.
The authors were poorly
paid.
After his piece sold to a company, the writer was not receiving any further
rights or representations about the publication.
Many supplemented their
income by writing pamphlets.

beginning of the first English revolution, they have ordered the closure of all
theaters in 1642.
The arrangement of Elizabethan plays, with its multitude of
scenes, characters, and mixing of genres, survived the Restoration comedy..
