The two plays are tragedies, the principal characters both have close encounters with the supernatural. For Hamlet, the ghost of his father tries to hell him the story of his murder, for Macbeth, the ghost of Banquo just haunts Macbeth with guilt.
Macbeth, a man so full of ambition, that he kills and kills is compared to Hamlet who has no ambition, he struggles to act on his father's murder. Both characters end up thinking too much, although Macbeth is more action oriented than Hamlet, they both suffer from degrees of madness.
