The struggle to act upon his father’s murder is a key factor in Hamlet’s disillusionment with the world. The Elizabethan period was a time that demanded revenge and this is even true in our present time to some extent.

Foul language has invaded its way into today´s society, and it is considered normal and even allowed in some cases. A lot of it is caused by the media. Movies and TV shows no longer find swear words so improper and use them quite spontaneously.
