The 3 female vampires in 'Dracula' may have been inspired by the 3 witches in Macbeth. This dark play was often staged at the Lyceum Theatre, which Bram Stoker managed. His boss, actor Henry Irving, was a model for the Count.

Antony and Cleopatra [IV, 3]

My protest sign on 2026.03.14 in front of the Cheesecake Factory tower on the Plaza in Kansas City Missouri.

That swells with silence in the tortured soul.
