For the 2 people who have actually read the FictionPress versions of the stories, I’m sure you can remember the chapter in which Jazabel tells Nikki about the Ladies of the Night. But what you may have not been able to put your finger on was the familiarity of the story of Cadel Thymab. And that’s because I actually based the character and story on that of Shakespeare’s Lady Macbeth. Cadel Thymab is actually an anagram of Lady Macbeth. Macbeth was one of my favourite Shakespeare plays growing up and I’ve always been fascinated by it’s seepage into pop culture. And the character and story of Cadel Thymab was me throwing my hat into the ring and seeing how the world would welcome this ‘what if’ scenario that I’ve concocted.
Now, with this new evidence in mind, I encourage you to go back and reread Ch. 13 of part 3 of the Kanta Chronicles and then let me know what you think about this bit of lore to the world of Bolfodier. Or if you had pieced this together already, let me know that too as well as if you think I did Lady M justice.
