Introduction

William Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford. He was an English playwright and poet whose work has played a major role in shaping modern literature in Europe.

Analysis topics were sometimes evil, revenge, power and fear.

The core themes of Shakespeare's work include a number of very important issues. In his work he displayed temptation to evil, succumbing to temptation and reaching for the penalty is intertwined with the political theme, so not having a universal character, but very current at the time of developing the absolute monarchy.
