Why could we consider Macbeth a tragic hero
🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/22
A tragedy is a play where things end badly for the main
character or characters. We don't feel this to be tragic unless we
like the main character or characters in some way and feel sorry
for them. Shakespeare's play Timon of Athens is supposed to be a
tragedy but yet is one of Shakespeare's least successful plays
because the character is so unlikeable we cannot feel sorry for him
when disaster overtakes him. Shakespeare also wrote characters to
whom bad things happen into his comedies, such as Malvolio in
Twelfth Night. What happens to Malvolio is bad but not that bad and
we don't feel sorry for him because he has a bad characteristic, a
flaw, of being stuck up and arrogant, which makes him hard to like.
Timon and Malvolio are not tragic because although bad things
happen to them, we rather think they deserve it and don't feel
sorry for them. Macbeth, we feel, deserves what he gets (killing
children is the ultimate crime), but we still feel sorry for him
because at the start, he was a war hero and an honourable man. We
know that, left to his own devices, he would never have killed
Duncan, and it was that one act which changed him from a likeable
hero into a monster. It's an act he regrets almost immediately
("Wake Duncan with thy knocking! I would thou couldst!") but which
he can never undo.
