Shakespeare and Weapons

Shakespeare and Weapons

The use of weapons is common throughout

Shakespeare’s plays: not surprising when one

considers how often war, battles and duels

feature in his works.

Ah, kill me with your weapon, not with words.

King Henry VI, 5.6

This presentation explores the weapons that

would have been used, not only in Shakespeare’s

time, but also at the time when the play is set.

(for example Julius Caeser: Roman; Hamlet: Viking; Macbeth: 11^th Century; Agincourt and

The Wars of the Roses plays: Fifteenth Century)
