    1. Shakespeare's plays were performed in public theaters for all classes of people. Women were not allowed to act, so female roles were played by young men. 2. Shakespeare often used iambic pentameter, alliteration, and rhyme, as seen in Macbeth. Iambic pentameter involves lines of five iambs or stressed-unstressed pairs. 3. Many scenes in Macbeth take place at night or in the shadows, creating a gloomy environment associated with black magic and evil. Disguise is used through darkness, costumes, deception, and spirits, where reality differs from appearances.
