Both "Macbeth" and "The Merchant of Venice" are plays written by William Shakespeare, but they belong to different genres - "Macbeth" is a tragedy while "The Merchant of Venice" is a comedy. In terms of themes, both plays explore the consequences of greed and ambition, but "Macbeth" delves deeper into the psychological effects of unchecked ambition, while "The Merchant of Venice" focuses more on themes of justice, mercy, and prejudice. Additionally, the characters in both plays face moral dilemmas, but their resolutions differ significantly due to the genre and overall tone of each play.

Why did the witches made it their mission to kill Macbeth in the play The Merchant of Venice?

If this is perchance from the play The Merchant of Venice by William Snakesbeer, the one in which Howard and Juliet are murdered by Othello, the king of Denmark and his daughters Regan, Goneril and Joyce, then it was as revenge for getting food poisoning from a Big Macbethburger. If, however, you are alluding to the works of William Shakespeare, there are no witches in The Merchant of Venice and the ones in Macbeth don't make it their mission to kill him. You need to find the Snakesbeer version.
