This skin condition is described as \"lazar-like,\" referencing the biblical parable of Lazarus from the Gospel of Luke, who was covered in sores. Shakespeare uses this comparison not only to illustrate the physical effects of the poison but also to introduce themes of divine judgment and the afterlife, reinforcing the ghost's narrative of returning from purgatory to seek atonement and justice.\n
