Don't know if this has been pointed out before (if so, stop me. I looked through a few pages and found nothing), but I picked up on two possible Macbeth references/homages (well, three now that I think of it.) -Cersei is very similar to Lady Macbeth, what with her wishing she was a man/being power hungry. That's pretty obvious though, thus the "third, now that I think of it" -The Mountain "dashed Aegon's brains out on a wall" (paraphrasing), the wording is very similar to Lady Macbeth's soliloquy in which she would be willing to dash out her baby's head against a wall in exchange for power/unsexing (this if off the top of my head, I'll have to dig up a copy and edit in the actual line). -The Hound supposedly cut Mycah from the shoulder down to his belly button, and in the opening scenes of Macbeth, Macbeth is attributed to have "unseam'd him from the nave to the chops" Just a few things that I noted which may or may not be references. Again, sorry if it's been said before.
