What are the actual similarities between plot do the  Clorinda and Anastasia   and   Tisbe and Drizella ? Also, can we really say a character is based on or alludes to another character if it was not intended by the writers? Like, I just read a post on the forums about similarities between Once characters and Buffy the Vampire Slayer characters (click here to read thread). I can't just say Emma is based on Buffy without the writer's saying so. They just used similar character tropes.
