A number of Shakespeare's plays feature magic and magical creatures, which reflect the public understanding of magic in his time. The character Prospero in The Tempest is thought to be modeled on John Dee, and the fairy Oberon from A Midsummer Night's Dream is found in contemporary grimoires such as The Book of Oberon.
