Both often feature protagonists with tragic flaws, leading to their downfall and evoking pity and fear in the audience. Additionally, they frequently incorporate elements of fate versus free will, highlighting the struggle between personal choices and predetermined outcomes. Lastly, both forms emphasize the importance of catharsis, allowing audiences to experience emotional release through the characters' journeys.

Why weren't Elizabethan audiences horrified by the violence in Shakespeare tragedies?
They were used to it. Shakespeare built on a tradition of tragedies, and his audience would have been familiar with the most popular Elizabethan play of all, Thomas Kyd's The Spanish Tragedy, which featured a man being murdered onstage in the presence of his lover, a man being hanged while convinced to the last second that he has been pardoned, a stage play in which some of the actors are really murdered and one really commits suicide (in front of their parents), and finally a man who bites out his own tongue and spits it on the stage. Other playwrights wrote similarly juicy revenge tragedies. At the same time anyone who had been to grammar school had read the extremely gory and violent tragedies of the Roman playwright Seneca, and there were contemporaries of Shakespeare who imitated the Senecan style, Ben Jonson for one. Besides, the realities of violence were well known to the audience. It was a rough time, and people did not whitewash the facts of life.
