UK University adds 220 trigger warnings to Shakespeare’s pieces – including “balloon hit”

A lot of ADO for nothing.

The University of Great Britain has strangely spent over 200 warnings triggering on the classic works of William Shakespeare – even meaning harmless things such as storms, extreme weather and “popping from balloons”.

According to the Sun, the University of the West of England issued warnings after a series of complaints of sensitive drama students – warning over the most famous works of Bard, including “Macbeth”, “Romeo and Juliet” and “The Tempest”.

This quickly caused outrage, and the author Toby Young, the leader of the British Union of Freedom of Speech, saying: “If I were a student of the drama from the University of the West of England, I would be angry with being treated as such a snowflake.”

220 warnings included versions of the adaptation of Shakespeare’s works for the theater, as well as the mainstream television, including the national broadcaster of the BBC.

“Macbeth” has warnings about blood satisfaction, as well as “murder, suicide, violence, knives and family trauma”, while the timeless love story “Romeo and Julia” is marked with reference to “suicide, suffering and mourning.”

Students are warned that “The Winter’s Tale” has “accusations of adultery” and “references to the wild animal attack”.

The most strange that “Tempest” was marked as “extreme weather” and “storms” – and for stage adaptation, including “popping from balloons”, was noted in the report.

A spokesman for the University of Bristol blamed this student movement.

“Warnings about the content were previously demanded by students with sensory processing problems and trauma experiences,” said the representative.
