 Tragedy: a dramatic composition, often in verse, dealing with a serious or somber theme, typically involving a great person destined to experience downfall or utter destruction, as through a character flaw or conflict with some overpowering force, as fate or an unyielding society.

 Macbeth is a war hero in the beginning of the book but after a prophesy given by 3 witches becomes power hungry resulting in him killing the King  He later kills soldiers who he accused of murdering King  He slaughtered Macduff’s family because of suspicions about him  He killed his best friend, Banquo, trying to stop Banquo’s son from being King later on in the future.

 If the character of Macbeth in the beginning was killed at the end of the play then Yes, Tragedy  He killed the King, two soldiers, Macduff’s whole familly(wife, kids, and others), and Banquo  This makes him a villain not a hero that the audience sympathizes with when dead
