    William Shakespeare's Macbeth, and Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol parallel each other on many levels. Macbeth is a play that describes the rise and fall of a ruler who believes nothing can harm him, so the lead character, cleverly called Macbeth, attains power whenever possible, not caring who he hurts or what he destroys in the process. A Christmas Carol is also about the rise and fall of a town leader, the richest man in town, Ebenezer Scrooge. Scrooge's hunger for wealth and power is illustrated and the reader can see how an too much ambition can plague a man until it's too late. Both Macbeth and A Christmas Carol are similiar because they show how the hunger for wealth and power can destroy lives, whether it's in Shakespeare's time, of Dickens'.…

    The plays Hamlet and Death of a Salesman have many themes in common, but two of the important themes from both plays are family and love. These two themes are the most prevalent in both plays. Family seems to be the fundamental theme throughout both of these plays; both having parents that want the best for their kids but do not interact with them very much. The love theme is a bit trickier because both do not show it directly, but hint to it throughout their plays, they both have love interests, which distract them from what they are trying to accomplish.…
