For many centuries, drama centered on religious themes. In fact, most of the arts in the Western
(European) world emphasized religion because of the dominant role it played in people's thinking
and the political influence of the church. Right up until Shakespeare's own boyhood, nearly all
drama focused on religion and humans' relationships to God.
