How did the witches of 'Macbeth' differ from the supernatural creatures in 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'?
The witches had no clear motive. They told Banquo and Macbeth the prophecies but other than that, does nothing to help Macbeth. Nor did they torment him or place him under any harm. Furthermore, they are seen as sinister and evil beings who are not to be trust and should be guarded against, as said by Banquo. The supernatural creatures in Midsummer Night will be the faeries. Quite unlike the witches, who seemed to be watching the whole tragedy of Macbeth unfold from a sideline, the faeries are eager to help the Athenian lovers and they also restore order to the world in the end. The witches do not. Lastly, appearance-wise, the witches are ambiguous - they are seen to be quite feminine, yet they have beards and there is doubt as to whether they belong to earth. Macbeth even addresses them as "What are you" instead of "Who are you" when he first met them. The faeries on the other are seen to be quite divine and shows a hieracy. There is a king, queen, there are the servants and also the henchmen like Puck. Also, they are described to be beautiful and having firm ideas about that they want and what they are going to do.
Is there discrimination in Romeo and Juliet?
Yes, discrimination is present in "Romeo and Juliet" in the form of the feud between the Capulets and Montagues, which leads to conflict and tragedy. The families' deep-seated hatred for each other is a barrier that prevents Romeo and Juliet from openly pursuing their love. The rigid social expectations and customs of Verona also contribute to discrimination and serve as obstacles for the young lovers.
