HAMLET When his father's ghost appears to demand vengeance for his murder, Hamlet's duty to avenge this deed wars with his own introspective and irresolute nature.

MACBETH Ambition for greatness, inspired by the prophecy of three witches, tempts Macbeth and his Lady into evil

KING LEAR Lear's decision to divide his kingdom between his daughters Goneril, Regan and Cordelia leads to bloodshed, disaster and his own insanity.

OTHELLO Fueled by the grudge he bears against Othello, Iago plants the seeds of jealousy within his master, who turns on his loving wife Desdemona and kills her.
