What happened to who, whom and whose?

Do not say, damn you, that my husband Shakespeare (has anyone seen him lately, by the way?) does not know the correct usage of who and whom. You are quoting dialog--what the characters said--not my blessed husband. He knew well all the rules and even made up a few to boot but one must not blame the errors of nitwit characters on the master and Bard.
