* An [[Epileptic Trees]] theory has argued that the Antonio of [[Shakespeare]]'s ''[[Twelfth Night]]'' is the same as the Antonio of ''[[The Merchant of Venice]]''. Both seem to be homosexual and it's argued that the character of the the former, who is a sea captain, was able to become a wealthy merchant thanks to help from Sebastian and Viola.
** Similarly, although the character in ''[[Romeo and Juliet]]'' is a ghost character (never appearing on stage), the Petruchio of that play ''could have been'' the same person as the one in ''[[The Taming of the Shrew]]'', given that both are from Verona.
*** Outside of all of the women dressing as boys, Iachimo from ''[[Cymbeline]]'' has a name essentially meaning "little Iago" and is something like that character as a [[Harmless Villain]]. There's also a degree of expytude between ''[[Henry IV]]'' and ''Julius Caesar'' which were written at about the same time. In both plays, an idealistic [[Anti-Villain]] Hotspur/Brutus faces off an [[Anti-Hero]] [[Magnificent Bastard]] Prince Hal/Marc Antony.
