Predestined Fate Of Oedipus
... to Oedipus
they were aware of the prophecy that he would one day kill his father and then
marry his mother. With this in mind they tried to have Oedipus killed to avoid
this horrible fate. However they couldn't kill him themselves because murder of
their own son would get the gods angry all over again. So they tried to get some
one to take Oedipus out to the mountains and let him die of natural causes. Some
people might argue that they are still indirectly responsible for the death but
apparently the Greeks only considered it bad if you were directly responsible

King Lear: Illusion
... on each other. Shakespeare's audience (having just been spared a civil war following the death of Elizabeth) would have realised this.
The one affected by illusion the most is undoubtedly Lear. Lear's high position in society meant he should be able to distinguish the good from the bad; his lack of sight prevented him to do so. Lear's first act of blindness comes at the beginning of the play. First he was easily deceived by Goneril and Regan's flattery brought on by him saying
Which of you shall we say doth love us most,
That we our largest bounty may extend
(King Lear I.I.51-52)
This vast reward he offers in return for the confession of love is bound to induc ...

The Philosophy Of Life According To Macbeth
... could not control it. He was a man who wanted power and not having the power to control the aspect of life made him frustrated with the whole concept. In laymen's term, he gave up. Macbeth did not want to deal with life and focused on it as just a "walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more" (V.v.25-27.

The Nurse is another example of someone who, in authority, did not show responsibility. She encourages Juliet to continue to see Romeo secretly, even after he has been banished. She even says to Juliet: “I’ll find Romeo to comfort you. I wot well where he is. Hark ye, your Romeo will be here at night.” (3.2.138-140) And is clearly telling her to be with this outcast. The Nurse proves to ...

... II, whom he also had murdered. In their ways of dealing
with people, especially under uncomfortable circumstances, the two also
behave in like ways. It is well known that Falstaff often works his way out
of unpleasant situations using only his wit. The King is continuously
modifying his behavior to suit the occasion, such as when he is dealing
with Hotspur and the opposing Vassals and when he deals with Hal at the
royal court. Both Falstaff and the King live,to a great extent, by the
sharpness of their minds: Falstaff as a criminal, and the King as a
politician. Another similar facet of these two characters is their view of
bravery. Both the King and Falstaff ...
