Shakespeare is referring to deities when he uses these terms.
Explanation:
Shakespeare's works do not include quotes from religion, passages or biblical figures. However, he writes for a public, marjoritly, Christian, in addition to writing about kingdoms and populations where Christianity was adopted. However, Shakespeare did not aim to offend the religious and his followers and, therefore, whenever he needed to refer to deities (the Christian god, generally) he used generic terms, such as "stars", "the heavens", among others, but which represented a powerful and divine force.
the society was increased to the population villages and towns but the more the food is being made and not being shared with the other people the more people will starve.
