If one would like to write Shakespeare-style tragedies today, contemporary Shakespeare-style (or Elizabethan-style) tragedies, what plots one could steal?
pic is clic-bait
Anyone with some familiarity with Shakespeare knows he often took plots from other sources and modeled them to his own purposes. Well, so let us suppose that one would like to to the same thing today, what:
Movies, books, comics, cartoons, Korean-cinema, Bollywood-cinema, etc.
Are good material for tragedy-adaptation?
I am not talking of modern-day re-telling’s of the Shakespeare’s tragedies. I am talking of brand new material that could be reworked with a more poetic and intense language and set on stage
pic is click-bait: you guys deserve it
What makes you think you could write in Shakespearean style when it's already obvious from your post you're not a native speaker?
Not a put-down, but people thinking this shit is easy always ends in embarrassment.

dont be a fag
anything can be made poetic if you do it right
Just watch Scarface and Carlito's Way, the two greatest tragedies of the 20th century.

This one I have already selected as a great example.
Thanks for the Carlito's Way

It's a spiritual sequel to Scarface and imo even more poignant
