Complete 8 page APA formatted essay: Shakespeares Tragedies: The Violence Comes Too Soon.Cordelia returns with an army while other friends return to the kingdom in disguise in attempts to help the insane king, but all fall to pieces in the end with most of the principle characters dead. Similarly, Macbeth discovers the tale of a man possessed by the desire to be king. Having been told he will be ‘king hereafter’, Macbeth becomes mad with ambition and immediately writes to the wife of his prophecy. The reigning king is betrayed by his friends and is easily murdered. As a result, his sons flee the country in an effort to save themselves. However, the sons return to the kingdom in order to restore the rightful king to the throne, also assisted by friends, eventually fulfilling each of the witches’ pronouncements. Like King Lear, though, there is little to no promise of a return of peace as the prophecy that Banquo will father a line of kings remains the only prophecy yet to be fulfilled. In Hamlet, Bernardo starts off the action by demanding to know “Who’s there?” (I, i, 1). As the action unfolds, Shakespeare tells the story of the young prince of Denmark who is informed by the ghost of his father that his Uncle Claudius, now married to Hamlet’s mother, murdered his father with poison. As the ghost demands vengeance, Hamlet seeks a way to both prove what the ghost has said and bring about the revenge that is demanded if the ghost is correct. Hamlet feigns insanity to discover the truth, but his failure to act in time leads to the deaths of king, queen, beloved and prince, leaving the kingdom squarely in the hands of a neighboring prince. While these plays focus on the deposition of a king and feature similar characteristics in the many withdrawals and returns of principle characters, in each of these plays Shakespeare’s brilliance at the psychological elements of these stories far outweighs any zest for bloodletting.
