The play Macbeth is a Tragedy written by Shakespeare in the Elizabethan Age while Milton’s Paradise Lost is an epic poem of 12 Books written in the Puritan Age. This work compares and contrasts the parallels in the situations and settings between Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Milton’s Paradise Lost. Additionally, although one is a play and the other is a poem, both texts are shown to resemble in plot as well as particular personality traits in their characters. A deeper deconstruction of some of these, with particular emphasis on the trait and effects of ‘ambition’ are analyzed in this work. Starting from a low point at the beginning of the respective texts, these characters’ ambition drives them to commit more and more heinous crimes which lead them down a path of destruction and death. Their tricks and manipulations further fuel their unchecked lust for power until they lose all perspective of good morals, ethics, honor and values, making them not only the Anti-Heroes, but also the Villains in their own stories.
