Tarot Card
The solution to this puzzle is: Hamlet,Romeo and Juliet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth. In Roman numerals IV, I, V, II, III. (Arabic: 4,1,5,2,3)
Q: Ok, that's the sequence, i'm sure of it. BUT IT WON'T WORK!!
A: There's one more verse to be taken into consideration...
Q: Right, you know-it-all... what's with all the bleeding and crying?
A: Well, since the characters that are described here are from books that were already mentioned before, you might have to change their corresponding numbers...
Q: And what bloody characters are those supposed to be?
A: Think now. Who was out for revenge? Someone who lost a person very close to him maybe? Someone who would kill to get his right? Two youths. That sound familiar? Two young people? Did they know each other? Did they like one another maybe? Three witches. By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.
Q: Right, I get it now. What do I do with the numbers now?
A: Rather hard to hint at that. The vengeful man spilled blood for two... TWICE as much as that for one man. The two youths shed tears for three... THREE TIMES as much as one alone would have been able to shed. The witches disappeared. There were witches here. They are gone now. They left NOTHING behind, absolutely nothing.
Q: I give up, that riddle is stupid and totally incomprehensible and the fact that you wasted precious time and energy with it, fills my heart with sadness.
A: Strange, I felt similar about all of this. ^^ Here's the full explanation though:
So the vengeful man spilled blood for two, he should get credit for that. Let's multiply his number with two.
2x4=8 (8,1,5,2,3)
Two youths shed tears for three? That's not fair, they should get their value multiplied with three for that, too.
3x1=3 (8,3,5,2,3)
The three witches disappear. Well, good riddance. ^^ (8,3,5,2)
