Best Answer

Playgoers have not changed a great deal since Shakespeare's time. Some were highbrow and some were lowbrow. All of them were probably for finely attuned to the spoken language, more appreciative of complicated wordplay, and quicker to get the meanings of the new words Shakespeare kept throwing at them, than audiences today.

The lowbrow element liked swordplay, supernatural visitations, special effects and blood and gore. Much like today.

The highbrows liked moral and philosophical comment, satire of popular trends, political remarks, and wordplay.

Shakespeare gave them both what they wanted.
