Very hard to summarize; some good links below

Romeo and Juliet - A tragedy about two young lovers from warring families!. Due to family interference and miscommunication, both die!.

Macbeth - A tragedy about ambition!. Macbeth, through supernatural and wifely influences, murders his way to power which leads to his downfall!.

Midsummer - A comedy about four sets of lovers: one fairy couple, the Duke of Athens and his bride, and four young Athenians!. Part of the great fun of A Midsummer Night’s Dream is that all of these characters are made into fools by love and fairy magic!.
