The sense of order of the Elizabeth Ages was rooted In the sense of order of the Middle Ages. The university of the Middle Ages was that of an ordered world arranged in a fixed system of hierarchies. It also was refered to the nation and the rising and falling of the King.
The university of the Middle Ages was boiled down to a chain, a series of corresponding planes, and a dance to music.
Great chain Being was the representive idea among the three ideas. The chain was consisted of the plenitude, the continuity, the gradation. The chain stretched from the foot of God's throne to the meanest of inanimate objects. All things should be fixed in its own position. The disorder of the university was provoked in deviating Its own place.
A series of corresponding planes ment the relations of the planes: there are the relations of correspondence between the King, among the beasts, the eagle among the birds and rose among the flowers and so on.
Shakespeare must have possessed such a sense of order. The sense of order of Middle Ages is often appeared in his many works.
