Sex & Nudity
-
- World Without End contains some male and female nudity (plenty of male chests, very few male backsides, rare female breasts), some scenes of sexual intercourse with some movement and moaning (some with a little nudity), many scenes of sexual abuse/rape. Incest, homosexuality, flirting, and sexual references are all present. The sexual situations are plentiful but not strong in nature (with the exception of the rape ones), and the nudity is overall mild and not graphic. Many of the scenes in this section are certainly more irksome than sensual.
- Themes such as marriage, infidelity, and having children are involved. Several women are forced to marry men they do not love and who mistreat them.
- Some kissing throughout.
- A girl is raped by her husband. He roughly grabs her, slams her on the table, and starts thrusting from behind, all while she says "no" and cries (no nudity is seen).
- A young woman is raped by a young man while another man holds her down and laughs. There is no nudity, but we see him thrusting above her while she cries and says "no". Afterwards she is found crying, terrorized, and bruised, with messy clothes. Later on a man says she was examined and was found to be "torn and bruised".
- A young man has a sexual interest on his female cousin. His mother makes a reference to him always wanting to take a bath with his cousin when they were little. In one scene, the young man enters her bedroom as his cousin is sleeping, opens her shirt and touches her breast, visibly excited (in the uncensored version, nipple is visible); she wakes up and he leaves. In another scene, he is seen sniffing on a dress, belonging to his cousin, while lying naked in bed (his butt is not seen). In another scene, he masturbates in front of his cousin. Both are fully clothed and no detail is seen, we only hear mild noises of him stroking his penis while moaning. When he climaxes, she makes a remark about how quick he was.
- A man sexually molests his daughter twice. He gropes her breasts and tries to have sex with her, telling her "camon, it's only a hump". We never see him succeed, but it is mentioned that he did rape her in the past while being drunk.
- A man and a young woman have sex in the fields. They kiss plenty and start removing/opening up their clothes. The scene ends (no nudity or intercourse is seen). Afterwards we see them lying together, partially unclothed (the man's upper buttocks are seen).
- A girl and a young man make love in bed while kissing passionately. Little moaning and mild movement. No graphic nudity, only her legs and his back are shown.
- A man enters a man's bedroom and discloses a young girl hiding behind the bed's curtain, revealing that he knew about their affair. The young girl is naked but covering herself with the sheets (we only see her legs). It is implied they were having sex.
- Two churchmen have a homosexual relationship, romantic in tone. They are heard talking smoothly in a bedroom, and very briefly seen lying in bed together; they are naked but covered by the sheets, only their bare backs and chests are seen. In one previous scene their relationship was vaguely implied, as one of them suspiciously enters the other man's bedroom. In one later scene one confesses his love to the other.
- A nun softly kisses another nun, who is unwilling at first, but then responds to her kiss. It is unknown if they go further than the kissing we see.

- A young man makes a reference about his penis being big and puts a girl's hand on his crotch (they are both fully clothed, the scene happens in public). Later on the same girl jokingly tells her friends that "there was nothing that big".
- A mother asks his son if he still masturbates.
- A man sells his daughter to a stranger for a cow. Her new husband runs after her yelling "you are my wife now" (he does not catch her).
Violence & Gore
-
- World Without End contains lots of medieval violence, including executions, hanging, poisoning, black plague, battle scenes, revolts, swordfights, fistfights, suicide, and rape. There is also a lot of scenery that includes corpses. War is involved, but only a few times pictured. In many occasions, characters risk to be hanged (or killed in other ways), and are saved at the very last moment. Some characters kill members of their own families. Many of the scenes in this section are either emotional, upsetting, or both.
- Two despicable, evil, scheming characters in particular kill a lot of people, relatives included, for their own sinister purposes and interests, and another character is a very violent, bloodthirsty young man who enjoys killing, fighting, and raping.
