The celestial chain topped the social order
The Divine Order or “The Great Chain of Being”
Example of the Divine Order (Most Amount of Spirit/Highest on the Divine Order) God Angels (seraphim, cherubim) Humans (kings, merchants, men women, etc.) Animals (mouse, dogs, lions, etc.) Plants (grass, trees, etc.)Nonliving Objects (rocks, metals, etc.)(Least Amount of Spirit/ Lowest on the Divine Order)
Example of Divine order of Humans (Most Amount of Spirit/Highest on the Divine Order) Kings QueensNoblesMerchantsPeasants(Least Amount of Spirit/ Lowest on the Divine Order)
Divine Order within Families (Most Amount of Spirit/Highest on the Divine Order) FatherMothers SonsDaughtersServants (Least Amount of Spirit/ Lowest on the Divine Order)
What does all of this mean? People in Elizabethan England believed: The more "spirit" the person or object was thought to have had, the more power it had in its interactions with people or things below in the order.
People in Elizabethan England believed: God set up this order and wanted it to be followed. If someone or something were to break the Divine Order by not being obedient to whatever was above it, the person or thing that went against the God's will would be punished. Examples: If a noble overthrew a king, Elizabethan people thought that a natural disaster (an earthquake, a hurricane, etc.) would strike. If a daughter disobeyed her father, Elizabethan people believed the daughter might fall ill. This was a very convenient way for people higher in the Divine Order to maintain their power.
Over Reachers People who committed these “crimes” were called over-reachers (like Lucifer & Adam/Eve from the Bible)In tragedy, result of over-reaching is SOCIAL CHAOS (We will see in Hamlet)
Elizabethan people believed in the “Divine Right” – kings were God-chosen spokesmen; this deterred rebellion • Elizabethan people believed in the Doctrine of Infallibility. That means that the monarch was incapable of doing wrong; if the King was wrong, it was because of wicked counselors who misled him.
How does it connect to Shakespeare? Shakespeare sincerely believed in the Divine Order, and many of his plays are just a few of the plays that reflect Shakespeare's belief in the Great Chain of Being and his desire to maintain God's Order. MacbethTaming of the ShrewRomeo and JulietHamlet
