All that lives must die. -Hamlet Inspired by the works of William Shakespeare, I sought to approach this deck based on the themes prevalent in his work: Life and Death. The themes of life and death are represented with the motif of Thorns and Roses. Thorns embodies the pain of loss and death found in these works, while the Roses the sweetness of love and life. The decks feature four of Shakespeare's best known works: Hamlet, Romeo & Juliet, Macbeth and King Lear. The Roses deck interprets these characters with an item of significance while the Thorns deck depicts their method of death (it's a lot of deaths.)

In a charming way the Black Roses Lavenders stand out by their invigorating color. The colorway unfolds its complete beauty on the court cards. A well hidden yet easy to read marking system sets this deck apart from previous editions. Premium (Bee) thin crushed paper stock and traditional cut gives the deck an up to date and modern feel.
