There's incest in Shakespeare too

There's incest in Shakespeare too: in Hamlet and Pericles.
Clearly this does not mean that Shakespeare was incestuous!
But it clearly does mean that he was interested in it
thamatically for some reason. And I see no reason why
such things shouldn't be spoken about when they occur in
drama.
