Shakespeare wrote for the theatre- well that's pretty obvious isn't it. But the thing is he did have in mind an audience which would accomodate EVERYONE.
His plays were meant to BE PLAYED and seats were not specially reserved to eliminate the 'riff raff'. He was a playwright for the people regardless of their position and many a joke was enjoyed at the expense of the ruling class and vica versa.
So open to interpretation and still to this day. A living form which is best viewed rather than read word for word.
