A Tragic Hero has tragic flaws that bring about the demise of not only themself but many of the major characters. Shakespeare's titles were pretty self evident as to whom his tragic heroes were (Hamlet, Othello, Romeo and Juliet....) Macbeth is no different. Macbeth's lust for power, low self-esteem, naïveté and general obsessive disposition all contributed to his grand title of tragic hero.
