The next step on the development [of theater] takes place when the members of various guilds, who really 
liked acting in the cycles, decided that they wanted to do theater and, abandoned their original crafts, 
organized themselves into small itinerant groups, that walked around looking for audiences. These small 
groups faced a very serious problem, because, abandoning the realm of religious activity, they were 
prohibited to make their plays based on biblical tropes [or about the life of Saints]. The positive result of 
this prohibition is that it determined the emergence of original authors. (HELIODORA, 2015, p. 17)

Identify the option that correctly explains how the first morality plays happened to come into England's 
theatrical scene. 
Morality plays were prohibited by the Crown because they enacted Vice and Virtue as insurrectionists. 
Morality plays always existed throughout England, but they got to the city only after Elizabeth I was 
crowned. 
 Morality plays came to be only after atheism became a popular practice in Renaissance England. 
 Morality plays started to be written after a group of men left their various guilds to live theater as 
their craft. 
 Morality plays were part of a circuit of biblical episodes which aimed at moralizing its audience by 
enacting testimonies of the Church¿s beliefs.

After leaving university, instead of taking orders and dedicating to a career in the Anglican church, Marlowe 
went to London and, there, giving ways to his restless temperament and to his brilliant mind, he lived a life 
of wantonness and fights both on the streets and in the taverns where he found those with a similar 
temperament (...). Marlowe's last encounter with the law was profoundly serious, when he faced the 
accusation of atheism and unpiety, grave faults at the time. (HELIODORA, 2015, p. 171)

[Regarding the cycles], each guild was responsible for representing just one episode, staged on top of a 
wheel cart and, on the day of [Corpus Christi], following the sequence of the Bible, these carts enacted the 
whole collection of mysteries, from Genesis to Judgement Day (...). It is obvious that on top of these carts 
it was not possible to stage big scenarios, so that this scenic tradition has two important consequences for 
the Elizabethan Theater: the absence of scenarios, with a common scenic space for every action in play, 
and the challenge to create visual images through their words to compensate for this absence of scenarios.

Reread part of Othello's speech in court to try to convince the Senate that his love for Desdemona is 
reciprious. Then, choose the most appropriate option. ''It was my hint to speak-such was my process-/ And 
of the cannibals that each other eat,/ The Anthropophagi, and men whose heads/ Do grow beneath their 
shoulders. These things to hear/ Would Desdemona seriously incline.'' (1.3.166-170) 
 In such lines, Othello admits that Desmona feared him after becoming acquainted with his past. 
 The highlighted extract reports part of a series of terrible events in the moore's life, which included 
slavory and trips to remote territories, but which prove one of his characteristics that attracted 
Desdemona: his bravery.

 Othello claims that he has always avoided reporting his painful past, but felt comfortable to do so in 
Desdemona's presence. 
 By the time Othello addressed the Senate, Desdemona's father was not aware of the moor's life 
events. 
 The moore's main argument revolves around the report of Desdemona's admiration for his bravery 
during his trips, even though she does not agree with his description of natives of foreign lands.

originated from (1) _____________. Similarly, the lascivious (2) _____________ in between acts have 
their roots in the folkloric morris dance. When it comes to Antique literature references, a pervasive 
archetype is the one of (3) _____________, who encumbers the lovers' relationships.

Considering the Dedication page of Thomas Thorpe's 1609 edition of Shakespeare's Sonnets, mark the 
option which correctly present the mysterious suggestions found there. 
 Since Shakespeare was not directly involved with Thorpe's edition, it is more likely that this was a 
pirate edition of sonnets which we cannot be certain that were written by Shakespeare himself. 
 Since Shakespeare was directly involved with Thorpe's edition, the ''only begetter'' of the sonnets is 
certainly Shakespeare's lover. 
 Since Shakespeare was not directly involved with Thorpe's edition, it is possible that Thorpe himself 
placed the ''Dedication'' there to obscurely profess his or Shakespeare's love for Mr. W. H., a 
possible patronage. 
 Since Shakespeare was directly involved with Thorpe's edition, the Dedication page is a confession 
of the autobiographical tone of the sonnets. 
 Since Shakespeare was not directly involved with Thorpe's edition, there is no supposition 
whatsoever that can be made out of the Dedication page.

The Sonnets (...) were, to begin with, not a book. At least some of them circulated initially in manuscript, 
and the fact that these poems were first conceived as coterie literature is essential to our understanding of 
the nature of the book that finally materialized as Shakespeare's Sonnets. (...) There was nothing 
secretive about this mode of publication; manuscript circulation was a normal mode of transmission for 
much lyric poetry in the period. Even such monuments of Elizabethan verse as Sidney's Astrophel and 
Stella, Marlowe's Hero and Leander, and Donne's Songs and Sonnets were initially conceived as coterie 
literature and presumed a relatively small readership of uniform tastes: the poet was writing for an 
audience he knew.
