A Shakespearean tragedy is just a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. His tragedies are the ones that have tragic endings... for instance, the play King Lear, where most of the characters die at the end.

Answer 3

It's a tragedy when the main character or characters end up dead at the end of the play. Usually there is a pile of other dead people at the same time.

There are a few things that can make a play tragedy. If the play is sad or has drama it is considered a tragedy.

A play that ends badly for the protagonist. His tragedy is brought on by a personal imperfection usually called a tragic flaw.

A work in which the main character is superior in degree to other people but not to nature

Answer 4

The Shakespearean tragicomedy is usually a soliloquy, or a monologue, where Shakespeare, uses a theme from a comedic play, or scene and includes it in one of his tragedies in a short line or phrase, another, example is when the plot, is more like a comedy, where it's dark and full of misfortune in the beginning, and then it's a happy ending in the end, but with a tragic concept.

Shakespeare combines the two sometimes, and in Act IV of hamlet, he combines the comedy and history for a short, but well known soliloquy; birds do fly but I may sing.

i sincerely hope this information helped you, and good luck with Shakespeare! ;-)

Answer 5

Shakespeare's tragic plays are generally about a person or a couple of people who are doing pretty well for themselves, but then things get worse and worse and in the end they (and often a whole lot of people around them) are dead.

The exact reason for this changes from play to play, but bad luck, the intervention of evil people (like Iago and Aaron), and bad decisions generally play into it.
