The wealth of imagery available in Shakespeare's work makes it ideal as a basis for tarot. The characters are almost created for the deck - Prospero as the Magician, Cleopatra as the High Priestess, Romeo and Juliet as the Lovers, Lear as the Hermit, Hamlet as the Hanged Man, Iago as the Devil, and Portia for Justice. In addition famous scenes are evoked - the death of Caesar for the Ten of Swords.
