Exactly how steamy is this story?
PG
There's not much steam coming from the pages of Henry VI, Part 3. As far as Shakespeare goes, the play is pretty tame. People do go around calling each other nasty things, and sometimes it's about sex: Margaret calls Edward "wanton" and George "lusty." Warwick thinks Edward is following "lust" over "honor" by marrying Lady Grey, and Richard and George crack a bunch of dirty jokes when Edward is wooing Lady Grey.
But none of the sex in the play ever goes beyond a couple of snickers and puns. No one spends much time rolling around in the sheets because, you know, most of the play takes place on the battlefield.
