What are some similiarities between Shakespeare's Hamlet, and Macbeth?

Question

I need 5 similarities. They need to relate to the plot and characters and how Shakespeare developes them. I would really apprciate it since I dont understand the writing style that Shakespeare used.

Answer 1

The fact that each is a tragic hero should be important.
They both commit regicide (killing the king)
They both have their best friends killed - macbeth has banquo killed, Hamlet has Rosencrantz and Guildenstern killed.
Thier acts are spurred on by the supernatural and are something they don;t neccassarily want to do, but have been instructed to do - eg Hamlet told to avenge his father's death by the ghost; Macbeth is told he will become king so is spurred on to kill Duncan etc.
They both are killed at the end.
That's the best i can come up with off the top of my head.

Answer 2

1.the horror element as there was hamlet s father s ghost n in macbeth there were witches n ghost of benquo..not only that but the story n the protagonist s action swere guided by those ghost n witches .2,both the protagonists die at the end driven 2 death due 2 their ambitions .

Answer 3

Didn't you ask the same very question yesterday? I think someone even gave you a good answer listing the similarities. And I remember listing 2 myself. Either way, Google is your friend.
