Tragic heroes, destined for a grave fall, are protagonists of a dramatic tragedy. A tragic hero is usually a great hero, who commands the utmost respect from other people; on the other hand, a tragic hero can also lose everything he has gained due to his mistakes. His fall is the result of bad judgment, of a flaw that could combine with fatal, external forces. The fall can make the tragic hero suffer for the rest of his life. In many literary works, the fall of tragic heroes usually occurs at their highest moment. Similarly, Macbeth is a tragic hero in the play titled “The Tragedy of Macbeth”, written by a legendary writer, William Shakespeare. Macbeth is a great general who has earned a lot of respect from the people and even the king. At the highest point of his life, due to the pursuit of greater power, this created Macbeth's downfall. Macbeth, a tragic hero, causes suffering to himself and others by committing murder and creating anguish, which are the negative effects of seeking greater power. Seeking greater power, Macbeth kills Duncan, who is king at the time, which caused great pain for the kingdom. Duncan is a great king, but he is not a good human reader. He was never aware of Macbeth. He never thought that Macbeth could be a danger, willing to kill him for the throne. On the other hand, Macbeth does not accept being just a general for the rest of his life. He wants greater power, a higher position than he has at the moment. Because of the suggestion of the trio of witches: “ Greetings, all, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Lord of Cawdor!/ Hail to thee, Macbeth, who shall henceforth be king!” (1.2.49-50), Macbeth has thoughts of killing the king to take his throne. By calling Macbeth the Lord of Cawdor, they give Macbeth the thought that being a king is his destiny. On the night Macbeth is planning to kill Duncan, the Old Man sees many strange occurrences: "And Duncan's horses (a very strange and certain thing), / Fair and swift, the servants of their race, / Grown wild by nature, they broke their stalls, hurled out/ Struggling “to obedience, as they would war upon mankind” (2.4.14-18). It creates a fearful feeling in the kingdom and means that something bad will happen to the kingdom.
