Shotgun Wedding | |
Hamnet / int_32ec6393 | comment |
Shotgun Wedding: The historical record is that their firstborn, Susanna, was born 6 months after their wedding. The book plays it as an Inverted Trope: Agnes's stepmother initially denies their request to marry, so they go ahead and get pregnant to force the families to allow it. | |

Inconsistent Spelling | |
Hamnet / int_66c725b6 | comment |
Inconsistent Spelling: Spelling was not yet standardized at this time. Hamnet is the same name as Hamlet. Agnes is also Anne. | |

Tempting Apple | |
Hamnet / int_a066d9f3 | comment |
Tempting Apple: To preserve apples effectively, they cannot be touching each other. To be space efficent, they need to be pack as closely as possible. So the apple shed is full of apples nearly but not quite touching — a metaphor for Unresolved Sexual Tension. The the focus pans to the young couple who are all over each other, having Their First Time in that shed, jostling the apples. | |

Hamnet / int_ad7533dd | comment |

Wicked Stepmother | |
Hamnet / int_b070362d | comment |
Wicked Stepmother: Agnes and Bartholomew are the children of late first wife Rowan, while the other 6 children in the family are from second wife Joan. They are outsiders, and there is an acrimonious relationship between Joan and Agnes. However, it's an Inverted Trope in that little Agnes started messing with Joan out of resentment for replacing her mother before Joan took any issue with Agnes, before she even married her father. | |

The Black Death | |
Hamnet / int_b0ae741 | comment |
The Black Death: The book is set in the 1580s and 1590s, and the pestilence is a very real and ongoing danger. | |

No Name Given | |
Hamnet / int_ca87e3ec | comment |
No Name Given: William Shakespeare is never referred to by name, just epithets describing his relevant identity in the context of the scene. He's a son, a brother, a husband, a father, a Latin tutor. | |

Adaptation Name Change | |
Hamnet / int_dc057cf3 | comment |
Adaptation Name Change: In real life, Shakespeare's little sister was actually named Joan. Due to One-Steve Limit and Joan also being the name of Agnes's stepmother, this Joan — and also Joan their parents' firstborn daughter who died as a baby, for whom the Joan we know is named — are both renamed Eliza. | |

Twin Switch | |
Hamnet / int_f44ad3e1 | comment |
Twin Switch: Twins Hamnet and Judith look very alike. At 11, just shy of puberty, they can still pull of switching places. This is a reference to Viola and Sebastian in Twelfth Night. | |
