There allusions all over this story. My favourites are the allusions to Shakespeare. Take, for example, the Dukes rendition of Hamlet's famous soliloquy,
"To be, or not to be; that is the bare bodkin
That makes calamity of so long life..."
Both men are practicing for the show they intend to put on once they get to a town. The Duke is attempting to teach the King his rendition of Hamlet.
