SHAKESPEARE WILLIAM FOUR TRAGEDIES

The theme of the great Shakespearean tragedies is a hero's 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.
