Macbeth - Tragic Hero
Summary: A tragic hero has the potential for greatness, as they are highly respected by their peers, through notability, and great deeds, but are doomed to fail, through errors in judgement. They are trapped in a situation where they cannot win, and their fall from grace is caused by a tragic flaw, hidden beneath their pride. They eventually realise they have made an irreversible mistake, and finally meet a tragic death. This describes Macbeth perfectly as I will explain in my speech.
