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.
