The Elizabethan era refers to the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England, who ruled from 1533-1603. It is also called the Shakespearean Era, for the literary and dramatic forms that flourished during the period.

There are many theories for this. One is that the smallest gill-breating amoeba crawled out of the ocean, the gills eventually changed to oxygen-breathing capacity, and this creature over time evolved into a mammal with reproductive abilities. Another belief is that a higher power created a fully-grown person. The theory of evolution demonstrates that people are descended from the great apes. Photos of the Neanderthal man are recognizable as being related to the apes. The later Cro Magnan man shows more modern man characteristics.

Not that she has that many lines from which to deduce her philosophy, but her line "When beggars die, there are no comets seen; the heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes." does support the concept that nature supports a social structure with the princes at the top and the beggars further down.

Most people didn't directly question the great chain of being but were more discrete. Philosphers wrote books about it trying to send messages. This became a serious a issue in the turn of the 15th to 16h century when books and resources became more available. More people became aware and started questioning The Great Chain of Being but no one revolted until later on. Most people are punished if they question the Great Chain of Being as they are acting on 'free will' instead of obeying the people above them. Back during those times, it was everyones 'fate' to follow it.
