I'd say the answers are 'prejudice against dramas association with court life and monarchy', 'no audiences', 'lack of finances', and 'Puritans outlawed drama in some colonies'.
The .com website would be considered the least credible. Hope this helps! :)
In "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell, "the real nature of imperialism" is shown when Orwell says that as a British officer in Burma, he himself is against colonialism because in a job like that you see the dirty work of the British Empire. And when he faces the elephant he sees clearly that even though he doesn't want to kill the elephant, he has to because the Burmese expect him to, so he is not free. By limiting the power of the others the British Empire has limited its own freedom making a place of hollow power.
Misfortune in this sentence basically means bad luck, or bad timing. It is something bad that the man could not control.
