When the name Shakespeare is mentioned there are several thoughts that may emerge within one's own mind. The first, which is quite common, would include some sort of negligence and bias thoughts pertaining to an introverted mindset towards English Literature. On the other hand, one may be open-minded and have the capability to see each play as an opportunity to view life through the eyes of such an admirable playwright.
Throughout his lifespan of 54 years, Shakespeare wrote an astonishing 37 plays which of at least ten were tragedies. Of these ten tragedies, two quite famous plays are Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. Romeo and Juliet being a more romantic tragedy, deals with forbidden love and all the extraneous troubles the characters endure. Although in Macbeth there is a more eminent theme of ambition and true lust for power there are various concealed truths throughout the whole play.
