    William Shakespeare is considered one of the best English poets and playwrights. He has written many sonnets, poems and plays. Among his greatest work was the Tragedy of Macbeth, which shows how the drive for political power can have damaging physical and psychological effects. There have been many interpretations of Macbeth and Rupert Goold’s film adaptation shows the many ways the play can be expressed. The original text of Macbeth and Rupert Goold’s film adaptation can be compared in terms of the movie’s plot, character development and themes. Although both have the same script, Goold’s version is more modernized because of the era the film is set in, the uses of twentieth century historical figures, and development of the witches.…

    • 9 Pages

    Hamlet, the eponymous hero of Shakespeare’s greatest work, descends swiftly into madness and paranoia after the murder of his father and the realization of his mother’s true, morally reprehensible, nature. As a result of these new responsibilities and extreme circumstances, Hamlet diverges from his usual, logical thinking into paranoia and over analysis, a condition that prevents him from trusting anyone. Hamlet, having been born a prince, is, for the first time, forced to make his own decisions after he learns of the true means of his father’s death. Another contributing factor to his madness is the constant probing of others into Hamlet’s sanity. These factors all contribute to Hamlets delay, and that delay contributes to the tragic downfall of Billy Shakespeare’s most brilliant hero at the hands of a distraught and vengeful Laertes.…
