Austen incorporates many similarities throughout her other novels exemplifying themes such as: the role of women‚ ideal love‚ and social classes and hierarchies.

Shakespeare clearly portrays its youthful characters as being quick to act without thought or caution‚ this is not the case for all young people. Furthermore‚ it is my belief that all people‚ regardless of age‚ are capable of acting in an impulsive and hasty manner. It is evident from the play Romeo and Juliet that the two youthful protagonists are portrayed as being somewhat rash‚ as a direct effect of their tender age.

Claudius is the main example and source of corruption as he is the head of Denmark and the main role model for the country to look up to.
