		However, Elizabethan noblemen wore their hats indoors, so when Hamlet tells Osric, the foppish courtier, to put his bonnet back on, he is showing that Osric is being ridiculously respectful in keeping his hat off in front of Hamlet.
		In the Elizabethan theatre, this distinction did not exist, and for two reasons: first, performances took place in the open air and in daylight which illuminated everyone equally; secondly, the spectators were all around the stage (and wealthier spectators actually on it), and were dressed no differently to the actors, who wore contemporary dress.

		The other great literary achievement of the Elizabethan Period was the drama, a form which was rooted in centuries of popular folk entertainment and which had been adapted into the religious plays of the middle ages.

		Everyone, regardless of social class, enjoyed the spectacle of the Elizabethan theatre, and playwrights found themselves writing for highly diverse audiences which reflected the ever-changing makeup and energy of society.
