I think that to compare anything with 'the works of Shakespeare' is a daunting task, it really depends on what texts you mean, for instance; The Sonnets and Liberty Valance? The Merry Wives of Windsor and Young Mr Lincoln? Also, I would advocate some serious research on Oedipus Rex when comparing it to Oedipal narratives of any kind.
