Shakespearean tragedy

Shakespearean tragedy is a dramatic genre characterized by serious themes and noble characters who experience a downfall due to a tragic flaw, fate, or significant conflict. Unlike modern tragedies, which often focus on ordinary people, Shakespeare's tragedies feature protagonists of high status, such as kings or heroes. Key elements include intense emotional experiences, moral dilemmas, and the exploration of human nature. Famous examples include "Hamlet," "Macbeth," and "Othello," where the characters' actions lead to their demise and evoke a sense of pity and fear, ultimately prompting reflection on the human condition.
