Macbeth Tragic Hero : A Shakespearean tragic hero.
One of the classic examples of a Shakespearean tragic hero is shown in the play Macbeth, where the protagonist Macbeth can be seen as a tragic hero. Macbeth was established as a hero with great stature. He earned the King’s trust with his loyalty and his extraordinary abilities on the battlefield. He was someone with noble and respectable nature, and king Duncan spoke of him with great fondness, but he was unaware of the destiny Macbeth imposed on him later on.
Macbeth’s blind ambition and provocation from his wife lead him to take a bloody and violent path where he murdered his own King and ultimately lead to his demise. Macbeth was a righteous and noble person who could have achieved much more and would have been adored by all. If he did not commit Duncan’s assassination, Macbeth was consumed by a sinful life after Duncan’s murder, making him a tragic hero.
