The thesis explores the concepts of good and evil in Shakespeare's tragedies "King Lear" and "Macbeth," focusing on character actions and moral values. It highlights the shifting perceptions of these concepts during the Renaissance, illustrating how characters like Cordelia embody purity, while others, such as Macbeth, showcase a complex relationship with morality. The study argues that good can become evil and vice versa, revealing the ambiguity of these concepts. Ultimately, it concludes that the issues surrounding good and evil remain unresolved due to humanity's potential for both destruction and innocence.
