I have to do similarities between Macbeth and Hamlet. Such as how did hamlet and Macbeth relate to each other, what similarities do they have? But also how are they different. I came up with a few. I just need a few more ideas please.
Similarities:
-Both Shakespearean tragedies.
-They both use supernatural incidents to capture the reader's interest.
Consists of a hero that has a specific flaw.
-The tragic hero was not sure whether spirits were good or evil.
-Supernatural occurrence happened close to the beginning of the opening.
-Both Hamlet and Macbeth fight and ultimately are killed.
-On both of their journeys they start with something mystical, Hamlet; Ghost of his father. Macbeth; The witches.
-They both seem to have mental breakdowns.
Differences:
-Hamlet is the one of whom is honorable.
-Macbeth kills a lot of people and Hamlet delays killing his uncle because he worries it's the wrong thing to do.
-Hamlet finally is able to avenge his fathers death and dies honorably in the process. Macbeth also dies, it's not called an honorable death because he killed people only for his own benefit.
