MacBeth as a Tragic Hero
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page paper building a case for describing Lady MacBeth as a tragic hero along with her husband. Aristotle defined the tragic hero as one who falls from grace to extreme unhappiness; the literary requirement of tragedy is death. Lady MacBeth meets both of these criteria. Broader definition requires that the audience feel sympathy for the tragic hero, which in the case of Lady MacBeth is more difficult. She does marginally meet the primary criteria of tragic hero, however, and can be said to share the position of tragic hero with her husband MacBeth. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
