Shakespeare References in The Amazing Adventures Of Kavalier & Clay

Michael Chabon's novel The Amazing Adventures Of Kavalier & Clay contains a few Shakespeare references. The first is a reference to Romeo And Juliet, with Chabon writing, "They got him doing Romeo Rabbit for thirty dollars a week" (p. 96). Next there is a reference to Macbeth, specifically to a famous production by Orson Welles: "In high school, she and a friend had gone uptown to see the booming, voodooistic Macbeth, and she had loved it" (p. 354). There is also mention of Shakespeare himself: "lying down with it under a fir tree, in a sun-slanting forest outside of Medford, Oregon, wholly absorbed into that primary-colored world of bad gags, heavy ink lines, Shakespearean farce, and the deep, almost Oriental mystery" (p. 575). This book was published in 2000.
