Introduction

This webquest is designed to
introduce you to the world of William
Shakespeare. The world in which Shakespeare lived was a very
different place than the world today. Consider a world without
computers, cars, ipods, air conditioning, microwaves, sneakers or
television. How did these people LIVE???? This is the
question you will be answering throughout the course of your
quest. It is important to know how Shakespeare and his
contemporaries lived because his plays, like the one you will soon
read, are set in the same time period. To understand the plays,
you need to understand the world of Shakespeare.
