Detailed explanation-1: -The Globe theatre had a central area where there was no cover. This is where the poor people used to watch the plays. They were called the groundlings. They would stand in this area with no protection so when it rained and snowed they got very cold and wet.
Detailed explanation-2: -Since plays ran a very long time, people would get rowdy. They would talk, throw vegetables, and even jump up on the stage. The upper class was the best behaved out of all the classes. The upper class would cheer for the upper class characters in the plays that they were watching.
Detailed explanation-3: -They had a reputation for being rowdy and would boo or hiss the actors on stage if they did not like the performance, as well as cheer and applaud when they did.
Detailed explanation-4: -The low cost was one reason the theatre was so popular. What did they get for their money? The groundlings were very close to the action on stage. They could buy food and drink during the performance – pippins (apples), oranges, nuts, gingerbread and ale.
