Answer 2

Revenge was a common theme in many plays such as Kyd's Spanish Tragedy, Middleton's Revenger's Tragedy and Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus and Hamlet. Shakespeare in particular wrote plays about the unlawful seizure of political power, such as Richard II, Richard III, Macbeth and Julius Caesar. Madness was a common theme, seen in Shakespeare's Hamlet, The Two Noble Kinsmen, and many of the plays of Webster. The husband with an unfaithful wife, or the husband who is excessively suspicious of his wife was a theme of many comedies, such as Shakespeare's Merry Wives of Windsor. Shakespeare also made a tragedy, Othello, on this theme. Young lovers thwarted by the desires of their parents was a common variation on the perennial romance theme (in which young lovers always face and usually overcome some obstacle)
