What are character novels, stories, television, or movies that are similar to Macbeth in Shakespeare's Macbeth?

I have had several students in my classes compare Macbeth
to Creon from Antigone by Sophocles.  In Antigone,
Creon has recently become king, and he wants to gain the respect of the
people.  He assumes that upholding the law will cause his people to love him, so when he
is presented with Antigone's unique situation, he does not care to entertain her side of
the story and orders that she be executed.  Even though the people side with Antigone,
Creon is stubborn and ambitious--just like Macbeth--and will not bend to common logic. 
In the end, Creon loses his closest family members as a result of his stubborn pride. 
So, Creon is much like Macbeth in that he follows his own ambition without listening to
others around him.
