The storm of 1505 was not the only important storm of Luther's life. It seems that he had a susceptibility to the weather and that it substantially affected his temperament. During the early modern period, Luther was described approvingly as 'that sonne of thunder' and condemned as one who 'hath stered a mighty storme and tempest in the chirche'. Shakespeare's attention to the contradictions and mutability of weather interpretation is evident in all of his storm plays and particularly in Julius Caesar. Storms are an important metaphorical figure throughout Shakespeare's plays and especially for those characters who, like Cassius and Marina, are subjected to them. Shakespeare seriously considered the impact of the special effects of thunder and lightning when writing staged storms, whether creating the sense of the new Globe or using the Blackfriars' to gull the audience.
