René Magritte created three paintings that represent Shakespeare plays through symbolic imagery: 1) The Lovers II represents Romeo and Juliet, showing lovers with their heads covered, symbolizing their inability to communicate which led to their tragic deaths. 2) The Double Secret represents Hamlet, showing a figure with an exposed interior possibly representing Magritte's childhood trauma or Hamlet's secret in avenging his father's death. 3) The Castle of the Pyrenees represents The Tempest, showing a floating cliff and castle above a stormy sea, symbolizing the loneliness of Prospero and Miranda trapped on the island as well as the conflict between Prospero and Caliban.
