The themes of Shakespeare's 'Macbeth', 'Hamlet', and 'Antony and Cleopatra' he writes about power abuse long ago in some fictional settings. In today's world, a great number of politicians and authorities are corrupt tricksters while the ordinary man has many ideals. There are a lot of current books that show themes of murder and violence because of power abuse like some books by Tom Fitton.

This was my speech:

Julius Ceasar was a book filled with greed, corruption, and ambition.  But the biggest theme of the whole book was power.  Ceasar had so much power and was going to turn the city into becoming a dictatorship.  His friends decided to kill him so he wouldn't ruin the city.

As you can see from these examples in the book Cassius says:

" CASSIUS

Why, he that cuts off twenty years of life

Cuts off so many years of fearing death.

BRUTUS

Grant that, and then is death a benefit.

So are we Caesar's friends, that have abridged

His time of fearing death. Stoop, Romans, stoop,

And let us bathe our hands in Caesar's blood

Up to the elbows, and besmear our swords."  This means that after stabbing Caesar in the back, Cassius and Brutus reason that they've done their pal a favor: now that Caesar's death, he no longer has to worry about dying. Then Brutus has another good idea – the conspirators should wash their hands in their friend's blood to signal that they've freed Rome from tyranny.

 In conclusion, this story relates to real-life because many people have a way to much power and need to be put to an end.  The only difference is that you could just kill them in the book but in real life that's not exactly an option.

meriva

Answer:

1. Comedy: it explores theme of love and includes happy endings.

2. Tragedy: It explores themes of personal flaws and downfalls and it evokes fear and pity from the audience.

3. History: It dramatizes the lives of monarchs and it aims to instil national pride.

Explanation:

Williams Shakespeare was an English poet, actor and playwright (dramatist). Shakespeare was born on the 26th of April, 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England. He died on the 13th of April, 1616 in England.

Williams Shakespeare was considered to have lived a fulfilled life as he is the world's greatest playwright and writer in English language.

Around 1586, Shakespeare worked as an actor, writer and co-owner of a drama company called the Lord Chamberlain’s Men (later known as King's Men when it received a royal patent from King James I).

Generally, Shakespeare' drama are categorized into three (3) main categories and these are;

1. <u>Comedy</u>: a Shakespearean comedy isn't entirely like a mainstream comedy  but it contains some moment of laughter and a dramatic storyline. Also, it sometimes end with the characters getting married to each other.

Some Shakespearean comedy plays are; The Comedy of Errors, Twelfth Night, Taming of the Shrew, All's Well That Ends Well, As You Like It, The Tempest, The Winter's Tale, etc.

Hence, the main characteristics of a comedy include;

  • <em>It includes happy endings.</em>
  • <em>It explores theme of love.</em>

2. <u>Tragedy</u>: it contains a more serious and dramatic plot which typically involves the death of a main character (protagonist).

Some Shakespearean tragedy plays are; Romeo and Juliet, Antony and Cleopatra, Macbeth, Titus Andronicus, Hamlet, Julius Caesar, King Lear, Othello, etc.

Hence, the main characteristics of a tragedy include;

  • <em>It explores themes of personal flaws and downfalls.</em>
  • <em>It evokes fear and pity from the audience.</em>

3. <u>History</u>: it's mainly focused on English monarchs and Elizebethan propaganda, glorifying her Tudor ancestors and illustrating the negative impacts of Civil war.

Some Shakespearean histories are; King John, Henry V, Henry IV, Richard II, Henry VI, etc.

Hence, the main characteristics of a history include;

  • <em>It aims to instil national pride.</em>
  • <em>It dramatizes the lives of monarchs.</em>
