Question

Shakespeare’s historical plays dramatize the lives of English rulers during the Medieval era. Why are these plays not always historically accurate?

Answer 1

Answer:

to criticize the English rulers from a distant and secure place

Explanation:

Shakespeare's historical plays dramatize the lives of English rulers during the medieval era. These plays are not always historically accurate because Shakespeare wanted to criticize the English rulers from a safe distance. Dramas in medieval times had to depict really important history figures but they are not historically accurate. In "Macbeth" it was important to focus on the threat to social order showing it through a distant ruler to please King James who was the patron of Shakespeare's company.

Answer 2

Shakespeare would sometimes dramatize the lives of people in the plays to make sure that the play would be comedic to his audience.
