Shakespeare

Shakespeare Tragedy always forces people to take a look at what going on around them. An author who is known for many tragedies in his writings is William Shakespeare. Two plays, which support this theory, are Macbeth and King Lear, which were both written by William Shakespeare. Deception is used in Macbeth and King Lear. In both plays characters have great urges for power. Macbeth has ambition for power and will get it by any means necessary. In order to live sometimes you have to learn to live with regrets and Macbeth had no problem with that. Macbeth weakness is lack of character. His greed for power and authority drives him to do things that are morally wrong. King Lear is also written by Shakespeare and more than one character has evil ambitions. One character, which stands out, is Edmund. Edmund is displeased with the fact that he is a bastard an illegitimate son of Gloucester. These factors play into the fact why he wants power, land and most importantly the throne.
