Talk:Something wicked this way comes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not a good idea - don't merge this phrase, which has a meaning outside of Shakespeare, into another entry with which it is related only because of Shakespeare.
Merge. The other article is a very short stub and does not have nearly as much information, links and relevance as this part of the quotation. Both the latter part of the quotation and the works named in its honor are better known than the by the pricking of my thumbs part. They can be arranged as equal rankings in the heading hierarchy, where the greater subdivision of the Something wicked this way comes page will not affect the information on the thumbs page.

Definetely merge this. I am currently reading Shakespeare for a class project, and would have no idea as to the meaning of "By the pricking of my thumbs," without the "Something wicked this way comes," part. They are two separate parts that go together. One predicts evil and the other defines it. Both phrases have been used as the titles of books (Something Wicked This Way Comes, by Ray Bradbury, and By The Pricking of My Thumbs by Agatha Christie), so both have a meaning outside of Shakespeare's work.--66.69.93.79 23:25, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
