In the horse dealer's daughter I found that that some parts of the book resemble Romeo and Juliet by Shakespear. An example of the contrast between the two books is the moment right after Dr. Fergussion saved Mabel and I quote "You love me, she murmured, in strange transpot, yearning and triumphant and confident." He answered yes and they instantly fell in love just as Romeo and Juliet did when they layed eyes on each other.
Another example of there similarity of these books is that suicide in one way or other we in the nooks. In the horse dealer's daughter mabel was so depressed after losing her fathers wealth she tried to commit suicide by drowning. In Romeo and Juiet after Romeo thinks that Juiet killed herself Romeo commits suicide. These examples support the statement in the professor that when in doubt its Shakespear.
