1. Renaissance

2. The societal need that seemed to be filled , was
that everyone was interacting peacefully, and
truly having a great time

3. Part of the attraction the faire holds, is the need for the
people to buy and sell their handmade wares. This satisfies a
need that modern manufacturing may have stolen from our
society.

4. With the emphasis on battle/protection roles; I felt that the
faire provided men and women with very clear & dividing
gender roles – Roles that may have become blurred in more
recent times.

5. Ironically, the faire provided evidence that there exists a
timeless human need for predicating authority – as seen here
with Queen Elizabeth presiding over her subjects.

6. We can see her the not only the courting rituals among the
Spanish Royalty – but with the subjected man servant
standing by to tend to the needs of the upper class.

7. These Upper Class English reveal the importance in
Elizabethan times how the division of classes was
primarily displayed through clothing.

8. The greatest evidence that reflected man’s need for expressing
imagination was found with the children. When juxtaposed
with the role playing “grown ups” - it was astonishingly clear
that perhaps the adults got to be kids again by being
allowed to pretend in this safe atmosphere.

9. I got the sense that relational lines such as the ones
found in family settings seemed more pronounced than
might be found in modern familial life.

10. The faire site is utilized in a way that creates the sense
that one is in a small village - as these lower class
women walk down the main avenue

11. With less technological divisions to obscure activities and
roles; society apprehended with greater facility who was who
and who did what – thus making punitive recourse easier to
levy. This painted lady (whore) hid behind no artifice
whatsoever
