Shakespeare as a paramount nature taker across plays
The excerpt argues that Shakespeare repeatedly uses nature faking and animal signs to heighten drama. It cites mandrake groans, birds at birth, and scenes in The Tempest The Winter's Tale Hamlet and King Lear to claim the playwright relied on natural phenomena to illuminate character and fate, concluding with Heckenliene’s evasive 1610 death.
