Shakespeares four greatest tragedies Macbeth, King Lear, Hamlet and Othello in a stunning Penguin Clothbound Classics editionThe theme of the great Shakespearean tragedies is a heros fall from grace due to a fatal character flaw. Whether it is the ruthless ambition of Macbeth or the folly of Lear, the irresolution of Hamlet or the suspicion of Othello, the cause of the tragedy even when it is the murder of a king is trifling compared to the calamity that it unleashes. Despite their flawed natures, however, the tragic protagonists all have a nobility that emphasizes the greatness of humanity. From this paradox the audience is brought to a greater understanding of and sympathy with suffering.The four tragedies in this collection are accompanied by notes and an introduction to each text.
