In addition to these, Shakespeare also used a number of euphemisms for swear words, such as "pox" and "plague" for "God's wounds" and "marry" for "by Mary".
The use of swear words in Shakespeare's works is thought to have been largely due to the fact that they were commonplace in Elizabethan English. However, Shakespeare also used swear words to create dramatic effect and to convey the emotions of his characters. For example, the use of the word "blood" in the play "Macbeth" is used to create a sense of violence and horror, while the use of the word "bastard" in the play "King Lear" is used to express contempt and anger.
The use of swear words in Shakespeare's works has been the subject of much debate, with some critics arguing that they are unnecessary and offensive, while others argue that they are an essential part of the works and should not be censored.
