    6. Covered balconies and the pit. Rich people used to watch the drama representation at the balconies while por people watched it at the pit.
    7. Guilt, abuse of power, betrayal and violencia.
    8. To me that means that the power nowadays still beeing a game with a bloody path, where the person who wants to be the best, the powerfullest at the politic specter, is going to follow the steps- in a certain way- of Macbeth and his wife.
    9. Because England at that time was politically precarious due to the dead of Queen Elizabeth without leaving a heir to the throne.
