shakespeare's tragedies aesthetics
repost and bold what applies to your muse
HAMLET : losing oneself to revenge, the ghosts of the past, the sting of betrayal, a poisoned blade, drowning in sorrows, confusing belief with reality, rash actions in anger
MACBETH : a stain that never washes out, doomed by prophecy, inescapable fate, a desperate grasp for power, unchecked ambition, violence for cruelty's sake, morals wavering, a cackling laugh
ROMEO AND JULIET : youthful impulsiveness, long grudges, doomed and fleeting love, drops of poison on the tongue, the thrill of new love, following another even to death, a long feud ended, loud declarations of devotion, a final kiss
OTHELLO : burning jealousy, seeds of distrust sown, faithfulness, lies whispered in ears, secrecy protected through death, the innocent disbelieved, union torn apart by deception, a dropped handkerchief
KING LEAR : empty flattery, banished in disgrace, an inflated ego, an unwarranted falling from grace, honesty punished, siblings pitted against each other, tearful repentance in the final moment, letters carefully penned
