Help!! English Literature Controlled Assessment AQA:
Explore the ways Shakespeare dramatized strong emotions in the relationships between Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth and Lady Mabeth

What comparisons could I use?

So far I have the the first reaction between Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth
For example the way Romeo uses light imagery to describe the Juliet in the beginning of the play, displaying courtly love, comparing to Macbeth describing Lady Macbeth as his partner of greatness. Lady Macbeth then goes on to emasculate Macbeth, this then shows emotions of ambition and ruthlessness etc. From this, I plan on writing about the role of male and female, relating to context and love, but also use of religious language etc

What other points of comparisons could I use between Romeo and Juliet with Macbeth and Lady Macbeth??
