The Taming of the Shrew
Romeo and Juliet
Hamlet
Hamlet
Ophelia (1851) - Sir John Everett Millais
Ophelia, Hamlet's lover, drowns herself after being driven mad by her father's death. Many of the flowers are meant to have a symbolic significance: Poppies for death, Violets for chastity and faithfulness, etc.
Richard III
David Garrett as Richard III (1745) - William Hogarth
Garrett was an actor who portrayed Richard III on stage, and this painting shows when Richard III awakens from a nightmare where the ghosts of his slain enemies haunt him.
Macbeth
The Three Witches (1783) - Johann Heinrich Fussli
The Three Witches dramatically point to something, most likely one of the apparitions that The Witches summon before Macbeth.
