what makes Macbeth a Tragic Hero?
I'm writing a English essay on how it is undeniable that Macbeth, is a tragic hero. I'm having some trouble on coming up with two arguments, that I can write 400 words about. I need to write two 400 word paragraphs. Any tips would be much appreciated.
Think of his fatal flaws and what influenced him into murdering Duncan.
The best thing you can do for yourself is to begin by asking questions.
What, in your opinion, is a tragedy, anyway? What characteristics make a person heroic? What makes a life or a person successful? What happens when a person is not true to his or her own values? (Yes, this question is deliberately reminiscent of another Shakespearean character) Are we bound to fate or do we have free will? And if fate rules our lives, what happens if we try to subvert it?
