Let's explore Macbeth as tragic hero. A thread 👇
Macbeth fits the definition of a tragic hero outlined by Aristotle in his work 'Poetics.' He starts as highly renowned, but a single tragic flaw - in this case, ambition - leads to his downfall. #Macbeth #TragicHero
Other characters initially praise Macbeth's nobility and bravery. However, upon meeting the witches and hearing their prophecy, Macbeth's ambition is awakened, setting the stage for his tragic journey. #CharacterAnalysis

Characters? The dunk has been slammed
