    It’s pretty clear they were writing as if the Savannah were a monarchy. It’s no mystery why that might resemble fascism.

      The plot is basically a loose adaptation of Hamlet anyways, which is about a prince seeking to take revenge on his usurper uncle for the murder of his father, the former king. A monarchist story through and through, because that is the type of society Shakespeare lived in. It was only ever about good kings and bad kings, liberty vs fascism didn’t really factor in at the time.
