Shakespeare TCOMC parallels
OK GUY I KNOW I POSTED THIS A WHILE BACK BUT THERE’S A VERY IMPORTANT ONE I FORGOT TO MENTION.
VILLEFORT IS MACBETH.
Ok that’s that- here are all the connections that have been made in the past:
Maximilien- Romeo
Valentine- Juliet
Franz- Paris (?)
Caderousse’s wife- Lady Macbeth
Benedetto- Edmund of Gloucester
Edouard- that one kid from Coriolanus (?)
Fernand- Othello
Danglars- Iago
Albert- Hamlet
Heloise- Goneril/Regan (?)
Edmond- Macduff
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD TO THIS LIST- I’M SURE EVERY CHARACTER HAS A PRETTY DIRECT SHAKESPEARE PARALLEL
(Credit to team-mom-wannabe for Fernand= othello and Danglars= iago)
