Paper Summary:

This paper compares and contrasts the treatment of tragedy by two great playwrights.

From the Paper:

"Piety in Macbeth and the Oresteia. Piety has various shades of meaning including the concepts of being dutiful to orthodox religious beliefs or fidelity to natural obligations as to parents. (Merriam-Webster.) Comparing Shakespeare's and Aeschylus's take on these ideas is a fascinating exercise. Both were great playwrights who plumbed the deepest recesses of the human soul. Their differences are inevitable, separated as they are by more than years of history and huge gaps in language customs and notions of morality."
