Shakespeare social networks

With temporal decay taking place, each frame can be pieced together to form an interesting animation of an entire Shakespeare play. You can watch the evolution of the social network and understand the entire social structure of the set of characters in a few minutes, which is a lot quicker than gleaning the information by reading the entire play yourself. Cliff's notes, eat your heart out.
