Somewhere out there, there's an alternate reality in which Enrico Ashton from Lucia di Lammermoor is named "Sciolto Ashton" instead...
#explanation: enrico is based on several characters from walter scott's the bride of lammermoor#these being lucy ashton's parents (who are dead in the opera) and her brothers sholto and henry#the latter of whom the opera's baritone antagonist was named after#even tho in the book he's a kid and it's the other one who is a colonel and has beef with edgar#and italian spelling completes the trick#lucia di lammermoor#opera#raya reflects#yes i know i didn't read the book; most of my sources come from @stoportotouch
