Line 12:
* ''[[The Tempest]]'' and ''[[A Midsummer Night's Dream|A Midsummer Nights Dream]]'' are related somehow--possibly because Puck and Ariel are connected.
* [[Christopher Marlowe]]'s death is significant, or possibly [[Faux Death|faked]].
* Shakespeare's marriage was of at best questionable happiness (because he only left his wife his "second best bed" in his will, and because he spent most of his life in London while she was in Stratford-upon-Avon). His wife gave birth less than nine months after their marriage, so it's often presented as a [[Shotgun Wedding]].
* One or both of the lost plays, ''Love's Labour's Won'' and the Fletcherian collaboration ''Cardenio'', play some important role in the plot.
* Very little Shakespearean fiction actually subscribes to any of the standard unorthodox perspectives in the authorship controversy, but often the existence of the controversy is referenced somehow--either by having one of the standard candidates give Shakespeare writing advice, or by coming up with a new (and probably completely absurd) candidate for authorship.
