Hamlet is considered a tragedy, and the character Hamlet himself is considered a tragic hero.
A tragedy is a story in which there is a tragic hero who is a generally 'good' or likable character, but who has a flaw. "A mole of defect". This flawed character commits a sin or a crime during the course of the play, and as a result of the characters flaw, or sin, the character must die.
