Question

Who stood in the uncovered portion of the Globe Theatre in the Elizabethan Era?

a. lower class
b. middle class
c. upper class
d. prominent theatre members

Answer 1

The correct option is A.

In the Elizabethan Era, the Globe Theater was one of the several theaters that was available during that period. It was opened in 1599 at Southwark. One thing that distinguished the theater from the others was that most of the Shakespeare plays were staged at this theater. The theater is divided into different sections based on the social and financial status of the audience. People of the lower class for instance usually watch the plays standing at the uncovered portion of the theater; the theater ticket for this section was quite cheap [ a penny for a ticket] compare to the other sections.

Answer 2

The correct answer should be Lower class. This is where the tickets were the cheapest and they would stand there packed up like sardines.
