Shakespeare's four greatest tragedies - Macbeth, King Lear, Hamlet and Othello - in a stunning Penguin Clothbound Classics edition
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.
