arents and Ophelia dead. Also,although Hamlet dies, he is able to kill Claudius and get ridof the evil ruling the throne. Every tragic play must have atragic hero. The tragic hero must possess many good traits,as well as one flaw, which eventually leads to his downfall.A tragic hero must be brave and noble. In Othello, Othellohad one fatal flaw, he was too great. Othello was toobrave, too noble, and especially too proud to allow himselfto be led back to Venice in chains. A tragic hero must notback down from his position. He also has to have free will,in order to stand up for what he believes in. Finally, theaudience must have some sympathy for the tragic hero. InMacBeth, although MacBeth commits many murders, onealmost feels sorry for him and his fate. Hamlet is the perfectexample of the tragic hero. Hamlet has all the good traitsneeded to be a tragic hero. He is brave and daring. Oneexample of this is that when he went to England, he wastaking a big risk. If his plan didn't work, he would havebeen executed He also is also loyal. His loyalty to hisfather, was the reason he was so angry at Claudius and hisMother. Another trait was that he was intelligent. He wasable to think up the idea of faking insanity, in order to getmore information about Claudius. But Hamlet like all othertragic hero's had a flaw. He couldn't get around to doinganything, because he couldn't move on. He was a fullgrown adult, yet he still attended school in England,because he couldn't move on. Also, it took him a long timeto stop grieving about his father, because he didn't want tomove past that part of his life. And after he finally did,Hamlet couldn't get around to killing Claudius. He keptpretending he was insane even after he was sure thatClaudius killed his father. The final example of Hamlet'sinability to get around to do anything was that he wasdating Ophelia for a long time, but never got around tomarrying her. The audience was able to feel sympathy forHamle...
