Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] was considered a hero. He was the doer of great deeds, and the possessor of great powers or strength. Both of these qualities were evidenced in Act 1 Scene 2 of the Shakespearean play. For example, he threw himself into the midst of the bloodied fray. The tide of the battle was very much against the defenders of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] of Scotland. The tide was very much for first the supporters of Macdonwald the traitorous Scotsman; and then the supporters of King Sweno [c. 1016-1035] of Norway and of the Thane of Cawdor. But Macbeth hacked his way to victory for his king and his country.

Is Macbeth an epic hero?
Yes, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] was a typical tragic hero. A hero did great deeds, and showed great powers or strength. In the Shakespearean play, Macbeth was Scotland's bravest and noblest defender. He always put himself in the bloodiest midst of the most violent of frays and hacked his way to victory for king and country. He therefore was the doer of great deeds by his possession of great power and strength. Macbeth also was tragic in his heroism. The tragedy of a hero was his fatal, tragic flaw. Specifically in terms of Macbeth, that flaw was twofold. Macbeth was flawed by the ambitions which he just barely held in check. He also was flawed by his manipulability by his Lady [b. c. 1015] and by the three witches. The real tragedy of Macbeth's flaws was their fatal nature. They foredoomed his own tragedy. Specifically, they ate away at everything decent within him except for his courageous nobility in battle.
