I recently found out that, apparently, this episode is supposed to be a parody/reference to the Shakespeare play King Lear...someone gives away all of something to see who truly loves him/her.
I haven't read this particular Shakespeare play (only A Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo & Juliet, and Hamlet)...but I was wondering if you noticed similarities.
I was wondering why in the world the title was "Never, Never, Never"...it seemed sort of random, but are these three words also mentioned prominently in King Lear?
