	[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. (HELIODORA, 2015, p.16-17)

	Still more vivid were the English imitations of Plautus, which started already at 1533 with Ralph Roister Doister, by Nicholas Udall. Although being the school principal both at Eton and Westminster, he found in Plautus a model that favored jovial humor rather than grumpy didacticism. Udall's scope might have been a pedagogical one, attempting to offer an exercise to his students. However, he conceived his play as the English equivalent of a Roman comedy, from which he borrowed its common characters of the fool, the wanton and the parasite rascal. (GASSNER, 2010, p.224)
Source: (adapted from) GASSNER, John. ''Christopher Marlowe''. In: GASSNER, John. Mestres do Teatro I. São Paulo: Editora Perspectiva, 2010.
Critic John Gassner points out that Nicholas Udall might have been ''attempting to offer an exercise to his students''. This possibility comes into play because...
		
	
	... Plautus and Seneca were absolutely new playwrights for the English tradition.
	
	... Plautus never stopped being a popular author, and Udall probably wanted his play to educate everyone in London.
	 
	...Roman influences were part of grammar schools and university life in England¿s early modern period.
	
	... Roman influences were not part of the education at Eton, so Udall provided an English example.
	
	... Seneca was already being used by other authors such as Marlowe, so Udall wanted to try something different.

	Along with the players, both the Admiral's and Chamberlain's Men [founded in 1594] were also supplied with a good stock of plays from the two major playwrights of the period. William Shakespeare became a member of the Lord Chamberlain's Men, which acquired his seven or more existing plays for its repertory, while at least five and probably all six of the late Christopher Marlowe's known plays were allocated to the Admiral's Men. Edward Alleyn had already become famous as the player of Tamburlaine, Dr Faustus, and Barabbas, the 'Jew of Malta'. Those plays along with Thomas Kyd's Spanish Tragedy formed the staple repertory that the Admiral's Men staged for over thirty years, first at the Rose and then at its successor, the Fortune Theatre in Cripplegate from 1600. Built by Peter Street, who had only recently erected the Globe for the Lord Chamberlain's Men, the Fortune, too, was outside the city's jurisdiction.

Considering the text above, and the fact that Christopher Marlowe died in 1593, only six years into his theatrical career in London, mark the alternative which correctly describes his contribution to The Admiral's Men.
		
	 
	Marlowe was an associate to The Admiral's Men during his lifetime and contributed with one big hit for the company at the time.
	
	Marlowe's drinking and fighting habits made him an unwelcome presence among The Admiral's Men as well as other theatrical companies of the period.
	 
	Marlowe's early death never allowed for him to be an associate of The Admiral's Men, but the company's biggest successes came from his plays.
	
	Marlowe's plays were only used by The Admiral's Men during his lifetime, afterwards they looked for other playwrights.
	
	Marlowe came out of the university to the theatrical profession because of an invitation posed by Edward Alleyn.

	Reread the following extract retrieved from The Merchant of Venice, in which the characterShylock comments on his daughter's elopement wedding with a Christian, and choose the most appropriate option about it. ''I would my daughter were dead at my foot, and the jewels in her ear: would she were hearsed at my foot and the ducats in her coffin'' (3.1.69-71)
		
	 
	The reference to his jewels and ducats might function as a way of stimulating the audience's sympathy for Shylock, since he had been cruely stolen by his beloved daughter.
	
	Such line conveys Shylock's despair on the mere possibility of his daughter's death after she runs away.
	 
	The frigid allusion to his daughter's death and capital accounts for the construction of the protagonist under the derogatory stereotypes of Jews as evil and tighfisted.
	
	Shylock too is a blocking father figure, but his dual morality leads to his daughter's forgiveness.
	
	Later in the play, the audience finds out that these lines were purely a knee-jerk reaction to his daughter's evil betrayal, for he truly cared about her.

	A commercial playwright had to keep up with what was trending, as we would say today, if he hoped to be successful. A poet did not, at least not to the same degree. Indeed, in Shakespeare's day, plays were generally assumed to then be ephemera. (...) Poetry's nobler pedigree included, rather, the aspiration to permanence, both in sentiment and practice, in manuscript form and through the printed medium of the book. (...) Shakespeare wrote poems to connect with the elite and the financial rewards that might come from patronage. He wrote drama to survive.

	Read Shakespeare's Sonnet 154.
The little Love-god lying once asleep,
Laid by his side his heart-inflaming brand,
Whilst many nymphs that vowed chaste life to keep
Came tripping by; but in her maiden hand
The fairest votary took up that fire
Which many legions of true hearts had warmed;
And so the General of hot desire
Was, sleeping, by a virgin hand disarmed.
This brand she quenched in a cool well by,
Which from Love's fire took heat perpetual,
Growing a bath and healthful remedy,
For men diseased; but I, my mistress' thrall,
Came there for cure and this by that I prove,
Love's fire heats water, water cools not love.
These two sonnets [153 and 154] are often referred to as Anacreontic, after the name of a Greek writer who wrote minor love poems and epigrams.
