This is an amusing thread about adding swear words, specifically f*ck, into Shakespeare‘s work when rehearsing. It turns the archaic language into something more familiar for the emotional resonance. “To be or not to be, that’s the fucking question.”
Looked up the Lord Chamberlain quote, because the version with the F-bomb in it still fits the poetic rhythm. The original version does not have the F-bomb. And also does not use as perfect an iambic pentameter, or maybe that’s my own inexperience.
Shakespeare is plenty salty already, just he had to sneak things by the Master of the Revels, and manage not to directly insult any nobility or royalty.
