Sometimes I find fun take of literature in Google Scholar.
1. Beatrice and Benedict are ex-lovers and Beatrice has a miscarriage before the opening of Much Ado about Nothing, but they still have feeling about each other.
2. In Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale, King Leontes, the King of Sicilia blindly believes his wife, Hermione and his friend, Polixenes have committed adultery because of his suppressed feeling for Polixenes.
3. In A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner, the "invisible watch ticking at the end of the gold chain" Emily wears is a phallic symbol.
