Well, starting my second semester work already, I was getting into Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' when something strange occured to me.
In the play there are 3 witches; 3, quote: "black and midnight hags". This made me start thinking. But wait. There's more.
These 3 witches have all these prophecies, about who will be King of Scotland, how a forest will move and how a man unborn of a woman will ultimately succeed Macbeth. It's quite lengthy and, mind you, fairly dull, but at least it's better than Romeo and Juliet
I likened these witches to the oracles of Ishad N'ha (who also live in a cave)
, but the creepy thing was, that when Macbeth goes back to get more information from them, one is missing, leaving only two, just like what happens in W&W.
I thought this was too much evidence for it to be just a coincidence. Maybe there are other such references in the game, from other pieces of literature?
Or maybe I'm just too obsessed with W&W and I'm over-reacting.
What do you lot think? Worth further investigation?
Anyhow, I thought it was interesting.
Cheers,
