i have to say

>>> The woman was of a stained character, false to
her husband, the reverse of beautiful, dark eyed, pale faced, a musician,
possesed of a strange power of attraction....
Now, no one here is talking about literary characters, they
are talking about real people who existed who Shakespeare wrote the
sonnets about. <<
You wrote in response...


Wrong, wrong. wrong.

If you will also check the textual notes surrounding A Midsummer Night's
Dream, you will find references to "Puck" as if he were a living, breathing
character. If you check references to Macbeth, you will find
similar references to the witches as if they were somehow
"real."
