HAMLET IS A VIOLENT PLAY. This BBC article reports on how: “A man using the British Library’s wi-fi network was denied access to an online version of Shakespeare’s Hamlet because the text contained ‘violent content'”. The blockage resulted from the use of an internet filter. I saved this, and I realize that I was impressed that an internet filter could figure out that there is a lot of killing in the play.

Anyone who is so desperate for violence that they would seek it out in
Hamlet DESERVES to get to see it! (Maybe some poetry will seep in
through the open wounds.)
