Why could we consider Macbeth a tragic hero

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.
