What are the 2 main elements of melodrama?

There are actually three major plot elements to the standard melodrama. The first element is provocation The motivating force of the villains abuse of the hero/heroine. Why the villain chose his/her victim. The second element is the "pangs" of pain suffered by the hero at the merciless hands of the villain. The third major element is the penalty served to the villain at the end of the melodrama. This is where the villain pays for abusing the hero heroine. If you cited only two major elements of melodrama...it could be provocation of the villain (real or perceived) and penalty...or perhaps crime (the actual acts against the hero) and the villain's punishment for those actions. I would argue that there are three major elements to melodrama personally.

Is Lady Macbeth the villain of Macbeth?

Macbeth's supernatural encounter propels his actions. Yes, Lady M. encourages him: "Thou shalt be what thou art promised". She is decisive, unwavering. Ultimately, however, Macbeth takes matters into his own hands with additional unplanned murders. They both have free will. It is too simplistic to label her her as the "villain" or "evil". The complexities of the marriage, power, ambition, and fate are much more interesting!!

How Antonio is a good man?

Which Antonio do you refer to? There are five of them in Shakespeare's plays, not even counting Mark Antony, after whom all the others are named. Antonio in The Two Gentlemen of Verona is Proteus's father. He is neither a villain nor a victim. Antonio in The Tempest is Prospero's brother and is a villain. Antonio in The Merchant of Venice is the victim selected by Shylock to be the scapegoat for all the wrongs Christians have done to him. But he is also villainous; it is he that insists on Shylock's apostasy so as to destroy his soul as well as take away the use of his property, and it is also he that insists that Bassiano break his vow to his wife over the wedding ring. Antonio is Twelfth Night is Sebastian's friend and a victim in that he suffers arrest for Sebastian's sake. It would appear that Orsino's hatred of him is unjustified. Antonio in Much Ado About Nothing is Leonato's brother, a kindly old buffer who is neither victim or villain. And to round things out, Antony is a villain in Julius Caesar but a victim in Antony and Cleopatra. So, out of six Antonios, one is a victim, one is a villain, two are both and two are neither.
