In Macbeth, the king's cousin gets talked into killing the king by his wife, who is all excited about some prophecies made by some witches that Macbeth would be king at some future time. The king's son gets blamed for the murder and runs away. However, being king and queen does not make either of the Macbeths happy and in fact turns Macbeth into a paranoid mass-murderer whom everyone abandons as the kingdom falls into ruin. The son of the king then leaves his life of hakuna matata and returns to claim the throne.
In Hamlet, Hamlet, the son of the late king of the same name is told by the ghost of his father that his uncle and stepfather Claudius obtained the throne by murder. Hamlet, who is forced to remain in his uncle's court while trying to plot his revenge, tests the ghost's statement by staging a play very similar to the murder, which confirms the king's guilt but also tips the king off to what Hamlet knows. Hamlet kills the king's counsellor, believing him to be the king, which estranges Hamlet from his girlfriend Ophelia, daughter of the counsellor. The king tries to get rid of Hamlet by sending him to England to be killed, but Hamlet never gets to England and returns. His girlfriend has meanwhile gone insane and died. Hamlet gets into a fight with Ophelia's brother, who has plotted with the king to kill Hamlet, but everything goes horribly wrong and Ophelia's brother dies, Hamlet's mother is accidentally poisoned, Hamlet is fatally wounded and kills the king before he dies.
