| 1 | * To [[Creator/WilliamShakespeare the Bard]]: |
| 2 | ** It is mentioned that Mort's honesty would never make him a poet, because if he ever compared someone to a summer's day, it would be followed by an explanation of the specific day and whether or not it was raining: a reference to the opening line of [[https://poetryarchive.org/poem/shall-i-compare-thee-to-a-summers-day-sonnet-18/ Sonnet 18]]. |
| 3 | ** Ysabell's description of the events in one of the [[RealityWritingBook auto-autobiographies]] in her father's library ('-and then she thought he was dead, and she killed herself and then he woke up and he did kill himself-'), describes a gender-inverted version of the very specific fate which the titular characters of ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' meet. |
| 4 | * To Creator/HansChristianAndersen's Literature/ThePrincessAndThePea: |
| 5 | ** The narration says that through natural selection, the royal families which lasted the longest were those who could recognize an assassin in the dark from the noises they were clever enough not to make- forget peas and mattresses: an obvious shout-out to the tale. In both cases, royalty is portrayed as royally sensitive. |
