(spoilers ahead if you aren't familiar with this play)

First question: How shocked or otherwise affected were audiences by all the death and mayhem at the end of the play? Were they blown away, like current audiences were at the end of, say, Scarface or Chinatown, or was the level of violence and extreme behavior in Hamlet considered typical for a production at that time?

Second question: Did audiences consider Gertrude's marriage to her brother-in-law Claudius as shameful an act as do today's audiences, or did they just assume that was normal behavior for royalty? In monarchical societies, weren't royal marriages more about politics and power than romance? If so, wouldn't Gertrude's decision be seen as just a way to maintain her position as Queen?

Thanks!
