Shakespeare topics - glorified teen suicide (Romeo and Juliet)
assassinations and madness - King Lear
witchcraft - - Macbeth
approved spousal abuse and torture - Taming of the Shrew (McClintock for John Wayne fans)
animal worship (feast of Lupercal), assassination - Julius Caesar,
polyamory (Antony and Cleopatra),
sorcery (The Tempest)
racism, domestic murder - Othello
