Shakespeare’s tragedies are plays that show a reversal of fortune, from good to bad and have the following characteristics:
The tragic hero, is a person, usually of noble birth, who suffers a catastrophe. The hero’s choices surrounding the catastrophe may reveal a personal short coming, (self pity, arrogance, jealousy etc), called a tragic flaw. Shakespeare’s emphasizes the hero’s internal conflict using the following traits
They are complex characters who have opposing desires or suffer doubts. (Hamlet- cannot bring himself to act)
They present their confused feelings through soliloquies, speeches in which the heroes speak their thoughts aloud.
Their tragedies are due more to choices they make than to fate.
Their actions sometimes have good motives but bad outcomes.
