Shakespeare Reference in Pulp Fiction

The actual screenplay for Pulp Fiction, written by Quentin Tarantino, does not contain any Shakespeare references, but the book’s foreword, by Manohla Dargis, does. Dargis writes, about Tarantino, “Like his idol, Jean-Luc Godard, the young writer-director is a pasticheur and pop-cultural relativist, as content to riff on Elvis as Pam Grier and Shakespeare.”

Pulp Fiction was published in 1994 through Miramax Books. My copy is a First Edition.
