The allegories


of the Arabella Stuart faction in "Hamlet" and the guy Fawkes allusions* in "The Tempest" if they were
confirmed, would lead one to conclude that a Protestant writer was behind them.

Bates, Percy, Catesby = TRINCULO plus the two Wright brothers and the two Winter brothers adding
up to seven = STEPHANO. Caliban would be Guy Fawkes and his mother, Sycorax = the Catholic
Church
