This study focuses upon the multiple structure of English Renaissance Drama in which two or more different plots are presented in a play. This study explores the raison d’etre of the multiple structure in analyzing the two English Renaissance Drama, Robert Greene’s Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay and Henry Medwall’s Fulgens and Lucres by paying close attention to the linguistic texture of the plays. This research reveals (1) that in Greene’s play the idea of state provides the focus point in which several seemingly desperate plots of the play are meaningfully interconnected and (2) that in Fulgens and Lucres side action of A, B, and Ancilla who are also real servants of John Morton, serves not only as a kind of comic relief but also as a "pageant" in which the theme of the primary action of the play is represented in vulgar situations in everyday life of English people.
