Macbeth-Tragic Hero

     The most recent meaning of the word Tragic Hero as defined by Microsoft Works
dictionary is "A hero of noble stature whose fortunes are reversed as a result of weakness."
Many characters in the play were affected by  tragedy for a number of reasons, but without
argue, Macbeth and his reverse of fortunes are due to his own actions, and the rest of the cast
were merely victims of this. Macbeth's action's lead to his very nemises. From the beginning of
the play this tragedy of his was manifested through forces beyond human; the supernatural if you
