    What is important for a Shakespeare-play? Revenge? Blood? Lots of blood? I missed the ghosts but there were enough devils in it. Murderer, rapes. Cut the hands off. "Was it well done of [...] to slay his daughter... Because she was [...] and deflower'd?" "It was. Andronicus." "Your reason?" "The girl should not survive her shame." So, he killed the daughter of the King. why? Because it happened, what the highness just said before. Shakespeare always knew what to write and how to impress. Well, the Cook was mad at that time, but it was all for a good cause. Never let someone just live a normal life when he's a murderer or rapes a girl.
