This BloxShop will “lend a kind of easiness to the next.” Despite all the fuss, Shakespeare was an actor trying to make a buck. Remember that the scholars, professors, and intellectuals were not who Shakespeare wrote for – he wrote for actors first, and the audience (many of whom were drunk and rowdy) next. So let’s join the party!
