Both villains covet the wealth and station of a preferred brother; both make use of a specious obstetrical argument and both operate with forged letters. In general, however, the portrait of Franz was more influenced by Richard the Third than by Edmund, or Iago, or any of the other Shaksperian villains.
When you have seen one you have seen all; and when you have seen them once, you can understand how to the Romans themselves these sights have become stale and dull, till they look upon them much as I fancy the musician in the orchestra of the old Princess's must have looked upon one of Kean's Shaksperian revivals when the season was far spent.
"The plays of Shakspere are a part of every young lady's education," she answered; "but I am afraid I am not at all a Shaksperian scholar." "A young lady's education?" he repeated. "Gee whizz!" he added softly after a pause. He glanced over a page or so hastily, and then laid the book down. "Say," he suggested, with an evasive air, "let's go over that 'Maud' one again.
Foolish, vain, and absurd in every way, he was yet a far kindlier and more genuine man than many who laughed at him.

The Excursion consists mainly of philosophical discussions on nature and human life between a school-master, a solitary, and an itinerant peddler. The Prelude describes the development of Wordsworth's own genius. In parts of The Excursion the diction is fairly Shaksperian: The good die first, And they whose hearts are dry as summer dust Burn to the socket;
No one will chide her for resorting on the fatal night to the protection of male attire, a good enough Shaksperian device, but how remarkable that a woman wandering crazily in the dark, and already sufficiently disguised, should borrow a tell-tale cloak and a worse than useless sword from a corpse that she happens to stumble upon!
The truth is, the captain had thrust his tobacco into "an aside," as a monkey is known to empocher a spare nut, or a lump of sugar. "Do you think him Byronic? To my eye, the cast of his head is Shaksperian, rather; though I confess there is a little of Milton about the forehead!"
