Hamlet

In Lies My Parents Told Me, Spike says, “There’s the rub, isn’t it?” This is a paraphrase from a line in Shakespeare’s Hamlet: “Ay there’s the rub”. It comes from Hamlet’s famous soliloquy, when he feels suicidal but worries about what comes after death.
In the same episode, during her unholy vampire advances upon her son, Anne (Spike/William’s mother), calls him her Prince. In Shakespeare’s play, Prince Hamlet also had an interesting (to say the least!) relationship with his mother.
