Macbeth sticks, or conforms, to the Conventions of Tragedy in several ways. One, he has a fatal flaw which ultimately leads to his downfall: ambition. Two, Fate and Fortune play a role throughout the play through the Witches characters. Three, the tragic protagonist, in this case Macbeth, becomes a scapegoat and dies at the end of the play, thereby purging or cleansing the community from its evil.

Why is it so important that Macbeth should be first presented to use as a brave and honoured soldier?
Because tragedy works by making us like and respect someone and then feel sad when something terrible happens to them. If we don't like them in the first place, we don't feel sorry for them and there is no tragedy. (An example is Shakespeare's failed tragedy Timon of Athens in which we cannot feel sorry for Timon because he is so stupid, and hence his downfall does not seem very tragic.) The fewer faults the hero has, the more tragic it becomes, so the most tragic hero has no faults or flaws at all, yet disaster overtakes him anyway.
