Nothing" and "The Taming of the Shrew." The writer argues

Evil In Shakespeare's Macbeth and Richard III:
The tragedies written by Shakespeare often employ the
dichotomy of good versus evil as a major conflict. Two of
the plays, Macbeth and Richard III, are centered on the
criminal activity of the protagonist. Richard III will commit
murder, order murder and live a lie of debauchery and evil
intent for the purpose of gaining and maintaining power.
This 6 page paper explores the representation of evil in these
two plays and argues that, in most ways, the evil represented
by Shakespeare continues to be recognized and interpreted
in the same manner now as then. Murder is against the law
and, though the prevalence is increased dramatically, it is still
considered the act of an 'evil' or deranged person. Bibliography
