Answer: The theme of ambition present in Shakespeare's Macbeth and Hamlet.
Explanation:
Two of the four Shakespeare's great tragedies, Macbeth and Hamlet, share the same theme - ambition. There is, of course, a variety of different themes in both of the plays, but let us focus on this one.
In <em>Hamlet,</em> Claudius is ambitious to become a king, which motivates him to assassinate his brother (Hamlet's father). Claudius also marries his late brother's wife, which means that the murder does not stop him from becoming even more powerful. Claudius' growing ambition, thus, triggers a series of events - Hamlet devises a plan to revenge his father, and the whole family dies at the end of the play.
In <em>Macbeth</em>, we have many ambitious characters, but the most obvious example is Macbeth himself. Macbeth's desire to become a king upon hearing the witches' prophecy leads to him committing murder. He first kills King Duncan, then Banquo, as he also represents a threat. Macbeth's tragic flaw is exactly his driving ambition. The murders he committed make him consumed by guilt, and he tragically dies. Therefore, both of the plays explore ambition and its consequences.
"Grapes of Wrath", is a novel written by John Steinbeck and it was published in 1939. This is the best-known and most popular story written by the author and it won a Pulitzer Prize in 1940. "Grapes of Wrath" tells the story of a family from the Dust Bowl in Oklahoma who hit by the Great Depression, are forced to leave their homes to seek a better future in California. Along the way, this family faces many adventures and also many hardships and most importantly, they face the effects of poverty and lack of opportunity that has affected an entire country. One of the main purposes of Steinbeck while writing "Grapes of Wrath", aside from showing the obvious devastation called by the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression, especially in Oklahoma, was to criticize the way that the lands had been used to generate profit, instead of thinking about policies to keep the people fed. In order for him to be able to portray the struggles faced in "Grapes of Wrath", one thing that Steinbeck did was visit migrants camps and share time in the small populations and establishments created by migrants in tents. There, he came face to face with the horrors being lived by these people and that was the fodder he used to write this great novel.
