Okay, first off I'm going to say now this web page is
getting really crazy, but I'll go with it since Star Wars and
Shakespeare are my two very favorite subjects.
In Star Wars we have the evil Darth Vader who for me is
similar to Richard III in Shakespeare. He's also kind of
like Shylock if you think Shylock wasn't a very good father,or
maybe he is more like Leontes in A Winter's Tale, yeah that's
it because he turns good in the end. There's also a few bright
witty women like Leia to be found in Shakespeare, such as
Rosanline in As You Like It. Luke and Han's friendship is
kind of like Mercutio and Romeo's, and there are probably a
whole bunch of comparisons I could think of if I weren't so
pressed for time!Posted by Laurie Richards on April 21, 1997 at 14:52:03
