1) I think that some of the characters from Shakespeare's plays who suffer from delusions very adamantly include King Lear, Hamlet, Othello, and Macbeth, just to name a few based on the time and credit restrictions here.
2) Some specific examples of those delusions include how Othello's insane jealousy destroys him and his loved ones because he is delusional and self absorbed. Racial prejudice imposed on Othello also creates some of his false perceptions and delusional beliefs as he thinks, for instance, that Desdemona and Cassio are adulterous. He becomes caught in a web of madness based on these delusions and ultimately cause his own and others' demises. Do you agree?
