The first and most important of these characters in the film is William Shakespeare, played by Joseph Feinnes (Shakespeare), a playwright who was borm of the lower class, the son of a glover (Singman 19). Like the movie, Shakespeare began his rough theatrical career in London, England (Gardiner 688). While writting plays, he occansionally acted in some of his own, as well as some of his peers' works, until eventually becoming a member of the Chamberlai

The evidence presented does in fact show that "Shakespeare In Love" portrays an accurate description of life in England's Elizabethan times. Geltzer says that "for Hollywood's greatest studios, historical films provided the perfect vehicle to showcase top production values with extravagant costumes and massive sets." They have been as important as the time-periods they represent by making "the great moments of history" accessible to mass audiences. "This is alone important," (Geltzer). The bonus material provided with the film itself, along with various other resources contributes to the varification of the similarities of the characters in the film and the actual historical figures. Plays and play-going in the times were well recorded and used by the screenwriters in the effort to validate the film's accuracy (Shakespeare). Roles of women, clothing, and the Thames River were all considered and used accurately and strongly influenced the making of the film, all of which have been proved by the use of the resources mentioned. In conclusion, Shakepseare is not only "In Love", but fully represented in reality.

Queen Elizabeth, played by Judi Dench, another character in the story and real-life icon, is seen greatly respected by her sujects in the film (Shakespeare). Elizabeth actually was, according to Time-Life Books, sometimes viewed as a "goddess" by her subjects (42-3). Although she had 'a tempestuous personality with sunshine and heavy showers," (Cannon 343), she was always an intelligent, and often stubborn queen ("Gloriana"). In Shakespeare in Love, she often makes jealous yet witty comments to the other characters, but had a very strong mind and will. This was reflected in her policies towards theatre (Shakespeare). Juliet Gardiner believes that "Elizabeth's personal sense of theatre encouraged the creation of her image as a patriotic," (281). In the film, authorities continually attempted the closure of the theatres, yet Elizabeth showed up to the town performances anyway. In actual times, she kept theatres open, against the wishes of many city fathers ((Shakespeare), therefore creating a free artistic climate in England ("Gloriana").
