Watchmen

In the first scene of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”, suspense is built and a tone of uncertainty, fear, disbelief, and self-questioning is immediately established through Bernardo’s conversation with Francisco.

Householders started to withdraw from serving as night watchmen and constables. Watchmen were unpaid so they started hiring deputies instead. There were many anxieties sparked by postwar crimes.
