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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe four tragedies in this collection are accompanied by notes and an introduction to each text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41765062574177,"sku":"9780241726976","price":28.11,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_32799071.jpg?v=1738409402","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780241726976-four-tragedies","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
