The “Real” Macbeth lived in the 11 th Century. He was a Scottish “Thane” (Lord) who was cousin to King Duncan.

The three “weird sisters” predict Macbeth will be king. Name the allusion. (“Wyrd” means fate.)

Define tragedy.

1. The tragic figure is a noble, good person, but not perfect. 2. The tragic figure has a tragic flaw (hamartia), that could be an excess of a particular virtue. 3. The tragic figure’s downfall is his/her own fault. 4. The punishment exceeds the crime. Downfall has a ripple effect. 5. The tragic fall is not pure loss. Gain in self knowledge. Tragedy according to Aristotle
