- ... advantage of them. He also had the option of making his claim public, but instead he chose not too. A tragic hero doesn't need to be good. For example, MacBeth was evil, yet he was a tragic hero, because he had free will. He also had only one flaw, and that was pride. He had many good traits such as ... position. He also has to have free will, in order to stand up for what he believes in. Finally, the audience must have some sympathy for the tragic hero.

- 482: An Analysis of Hamlet
- ... drives him or her. Claudius is ambitious. His ambition drives him to murder his brother, the former king. Claudius is evil. But the tragic hero need not be good. Consider Macbeth and Richard III. By their acts, Shakespeare's tragic heroes hope to achieve intended outcomes. "But what they achieve is not what they intended; it is terribly unlike it." Claudius ... is no sense of waste in Claudius's death, no sense that this death could have been avoided, no arousal of "pity and fear" as there is in Hamlet's, Macbeth's, Othello's, Lear's and Romeo's and Juliet's deaths. If only Macbeth had been less ambitious, Hamlet more forceful, Othello less passionate, Lear wiser, and Romeo and Juliet less impetuous, their untimely deaths need not have occurred. We feel sympathy for ...
- 483: Life of William Shakespeare
- ... of jealousy. It is about a man who believes that his wife is unfaithful to him. This jealousy finally turns into rage and he kills her. After Othello, Shakespeare wrote Macbeth, a tragedy of ambition. This is about Macbeth and his wife, who believe that they can kill the King of Scotland and quietly take the throne. They find, however, that this murder leads to other murders and they are consumed with guilt. Macbeth would have been very controversial if it had been any other playwrite, but Shakespeare at this time could write whatever he wanted. He was thought of as the "Lord ...

- 486: Othello - The Greatest Tragedy
- ... tragedy so wonderfully. The love shared between Othello and Desdemona at the beginning of the play is so much more spectacular than that of Claudius and Gertrude in Hamlet or Macbeth and Lady Macbeth in Macbeth. The guilt and wrong felt by Othello after he realizes his errors in judgement is uncomparable to the drama in Shakespeare’s other tragedies. Any audience viewing Othello for ...

- 488: William Shakespeare
- ... You Like It (1599?) and Twelfth Night (1600?), depict the endearing as well as the ridiculous sides of human nature. His great tragedies Hamlet (1601?), Othello (1604?), King Lear (1605?), Macbeth (1606?), and Antony and Cleopatra (1606?) look deeply into the springs of action in the human soul. His earlier dark tragedies were imitated in style and feeling by the tragedy ... type of love, namely the middle-aged passion of Roman general Mark Antony for Egyptian queen Cleopatra. Their love is glorified by some of Shakespeare's most sensuous poetry. In Macbeth (1606?), Shakespeare depicts the tragedy of a man who, led on by others and because of a defect in his own nature, succumbs to ambition. In securing the Scottish throne, Macbeth dulls his humanity to the point where he becomes capable of any amoral act. Unlike these tragedies, three other plays of this period suggest a bitterness stemming from the ...

- ... the satiric Nikolay Gogol story, displayed a thorough understanding of what was popular in Western music combined with his "dry" humor. Not surprisingly, Shostakovich's undoubtedly finer second opera, Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District (later renamed Katerina Izmaylova), marked a stylistic retreat. However, this new Shostakovich was too avant-garde for Stalin. In 1928, Joseph Stalin inaugurated his First Five ... remained in good favor for a time, but it has been said that it was Stalin's personal anger at what he heard when he attended a performance of Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District in 1936 that sparked the official condemnation of the opera and of its creator. The focus of the opera was based around murder, conspiracy, and trickery ...

In Macbeth (1606), Shakespeare depicts the tragedy of a man who succumbs to ambition. The two comedies of this period are also dark in mood and are sometimes called problem plays because ... for Measure (1604) both question accepted patterns of morality without offering solutions. These are Shakespeare’s more common plays as we read Othello and King lear in high school. Also Macbeth is one of the most famous books of all time, along with All’s well that End’s well. The fourth period of Shakespeare's work includes his principal romantic ...
