"Two women fight to the death over a pair of shoes."

There is no end to all the subjects one could study.

Sexism, tough girl loses to dude. The usual.
Twelfth Night
Cross-dressing and a locked up butler.
A Midsummer Night's Dream
An idiot ends up with a donkey head, lovers fight, boring stuff.
King Lear
Old dude goes mad, everyone dies. The end.
Othello
Black racism, suicide, and another suicide.(Bet the Black Lives Matter TOTALLY love this)
The Tempest
Witchcraft, shipwreck, old betrayal, usual love, and a lonely demon.
Titus Andronicus
Romans, barbarians, the usual murder, and a pie made of 2 boys.
Macbeth
Dude meets witches, becomes mad, then is killed.
Hamlet
Guy sees ghost, plots revenge, everyone dies.
