A man of many words, of many ideas who create incredible works that have tragic ends, that man is Shakespeare. William Shakespeare had created two characters who continuously changed throughout his works. In both the plays of Macbeth and Othello, both characters change for the worse, ultimately ending in their downfall. Macbeth had been a victim of his wife's devious ways, but he also became a terrifying man, Shakespeare creates this through his creative use of figurative language and character development. In a similar victim situation, Othello starts out as a good man, then becomes someone beyond any belief of what he had become. In Othello, Shakespeare uses metaphors, anecdotes, and symbolism. In both plays they have a similar theme, things may not always be as they seem. In the play Macbeth, Shakespeare plays his theme well by creating a nobleman, who then becomes involved in his own greed for the crown. Shakespeare's Macbeth creates an element like no other, using both character development and figurative language he is able to change Macbeth into only showing his evil side. At the beginning of Shakespeare's play, Shakespeare has Macbeth as a man of honor, but all this changes with the slight idea of ​​receiving a new title, “ My worthy Cawdor! [Aside] The Prince of Cumberland! This is a step... May the light not see my black and deep desires" (1.4.54-59). Showing the development of Macbeth's thoughts from which he was becoming something he did not wish to be. Macbeth wishes to change his mind, but his wife influences him with her words, “you seem the innocent flower, but be the serpent beneath” (1.5.75-77). While Lady Macbeth begins to confuse Macbeth's line of thinking, due to their changes in character development. Macbeth had changed a lot from being a rising soldier, to a king who killed everyone around him, “ Enter the ghost of Banquo” (3.4.46). Othello similarly had the same scenario, but his downfall was due to jealousy and disbelief of his wife's devotion to him: “There is money for your labors. [He gives her the money.] Please turn the key and follow our advice” (4.2.108-110). Both were depicted as victims from the beginning, but were later transformed into something incomprehensible to themselves. Both themes are similar, but in a way they are different, Shakespeare depicted any number of images to create his theme for both plays. In a way Shakespeare linked these two works by making both victims of the pain caused by things may not always be as they seem, you can't always trust what you see.
