MacBeth as a Tragic Hero
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper building a case for describing Lady MacBeth as a tragic hero along with her husband. Aristotle defined the tragic hero as one who falls from grace to extreme unhappiness; the literary requirement of tragedy is death. Lady MacBeth meets both of these criteria. Broader definition requires that the audience feel sympathy for the tragic hero, which in the case of Lady MacBeth is more difficult. She does marginally meet the primary criteria of tragic hero, however, and can be said to share the position of tragic hero with her husband MacBeth. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Macbeth's Character Development/Act I
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that analyzes Shakespeare's development of Macbeth's character in Act I. The writer argues that this shows how a man who was recently hailed as a hero of his country could turn traitor and commit the act of regicide. Throughout Act I, Shakespeare carefully builds the image of Macbeth as a man who is not motivated by principles, as it seemed to King Duncan in evaluating his performance in battle, but rather as a man who is primarily propelled by his own ambition. Examination of Act I demonstrates that Macbeth's actions are not controlled by either the witches or his wife, but rather that these elements bring out features of his character that were already present.
