There’s a Tumblr post saying Othello could have solved the plot of Hamlet and Hamlet could have solved the plot of Othello.

Stephen Sondheim thought Hamlet’s mirror was Sweeney Todd. “They’re both eaten up by revenge. Hamlet can’t quite take the action, so he is consumed in an existentialist way, Sweeney in a very active way.”

I cannot begin to imagine Hamlet in the plot of Sweeney Todd.
