Shakespeare was born in 1564. As years go it was fairly uneventful for England in terms of tragic events. Historical accounts of England at that time only list the Birth of Shakespeare and a few other minor nobles as significant.

Which is the best example of a tragic impulse from Shakespeare and The Tragedy of Macbeth?
It really depends on whether you believe that people have "tragic flaws" (Shakespeare didn't), and if you do, what Macbeth's tragic flaw was. If you think his tragic flaw was giving in too easily to his wife, then his wife talking him into the murder in Act 1 Scene 7 is probably it. If you think his flaw is that he's too ruddy violent, possibly this became apparent when he split the fellow from the nave to the chops.

What is the difference by a tragic Shakespeare play and a romantic Shakespeare play?
Tragic Shakespeare plays typically involve themes of loss, death, and despair, with protagonists often meeting a tragic end due to their own flaws. Examples include "Romeo and Juliet" and "Macbeth." Romantic Shakespeare plays, on the other hand, focus on themes of love, passion, and comedy, with lighthearted and often humorous storylines. Examples include "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Much Ado About Nothing."
