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.

Just watch Scarface and Carlito's Way, the two greatest tragedies of the 20th century.

>Just watch Scarface

This one I have already selected as a great example.

Thanks for the Carlito's Way

>>9208791
It's a spiritual sequel to Scarface and imo even more poignant

Breaking Bad

House of Cards (I like the brit version more)
