Woman in hamlet
The women characters in Shakespeare's Hamlet are portrayed as disposable and unimportant. Ophelia and Gertrude lack depth or are killed off quickly and forgotten by the male characters. Ophelia undergoes the most change but is still disposed of and forgotten immediately. Their deaths serve minor plot purposes without emotion from other characters. Shakespeare seems to portray women as not truly significant, though Ophelia's descent into madness is the most tragic part of the play. Ophelia and Gertrude are treated as property to be used for the male characters' purposes.

The Concept of Tragedy In William Shakespeare's
William Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet around 1594, taking the story of the two star-crossed lovers from a 1562 story by Arthur Brooke. Set in Verona, Italy, the play tells of the forbidden love between Romeo, a Montague, and Juliet, a Capulet, whose families have been feuding for years. Their secret marriage is tragically disrupted when Romeo is banished after killing Juliet's cousin Tybalt, and a series of misunderstandings ultimately lead to the lovers' deaths. The play combines elements of tragedy, comedy, sword fighting, and some of the most romantic language in English literature.

William Shakespeare was born in 1564 Julius Caesar takes place in ancient Rome in 44 b.c., when Rome was the center of an empire stretching from Britain to North Africa and from Persia to Spain. Yet even as the empire grew stronger, so, too, did the force of the dangers threatening its existence: Rome suffered from constant infighting between ambitious military leaders and the far weaker senators to whom they supposedly owed allegiance. The empire also suffered from a sharp division between citizens, who were represented in the senate, and the increasingly underrepresented plebeian masses. A succession of men aspired to become the absolute ruler of Rome, but only Julius Caesar seemed likely to achieve this status. Those citizens who favored more democratic rule feared that Caesar’s power would lead to the enslavement of Roman citizens by one of their own. Therefore, a group of conspirators came together and assassinated Caesar. The assassination, however, failed to put an end to the power struggles dividing the empire, and civil war erupted shortly thereafter. The plot of Shakespeare’s play includes the events leading up to the assassination of Caesar as well as much of the subsequent war, in which the deaths of the leading conspirators constituted a sort of revenge for the assassination.Many feared that her death would plunge England into the kind of chaos that had plagued England during the fifteenth-century Wars of the Roses.There are over 80 different translations of his plays and poems. The number of translations of Shakespeare’s works all over the world is second only to the Bible.
