Inhaltsangabe oder Einleitung
Even to this day, Shakespeare’s plays are raising a series of — perhaps irresolvable — questions. First and foremost, the two tragedies of "Hamlet" and "Macbeth" have baffled generations of literary researchers who have been toiling away more or less successfully on the disclosure of their many secrets for centuries now.
With a closer look back at the major works of Shakespeare’s ingenious contemporary Thomas Hobbes this text tries to shed some light onto Shakespeare’s cryptic writings. Hobbes "Leviathan", in particular, takes up many of the issues inherent in "Hamlet" and "Macbeth" and, correspondingly, might help decode some of these mysteries.
By focusing on the mental and political disparities in "Hamlet" and "Macbeth", this text wants to explain how it comes to be that both tragic heroes add to the unrest in their respective states.
