In this episode, we’ll explore the concept of tragedy and its application to Shakespeare’s Macbeth. We’ll discuss how tragedies center on characters who make fatal mistakes, endure suffering, and often face death, as seen with Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. A key element of tragedy is the character’s downfall—a shift from a position of honor to disaster. We’ll examine how Macbeth, once celebrated for his bravery in battle, descends into ruthless ambition and murder, ultimately leading to his tragic demise and the destruction of those around him.
