Detailed explanation-1: -Macbeth is called a tragedy because the character Macbeth, who is the tragic hero, displays a tragic flaw and suffers a downfall that leads to his death. The play’s greed, lies, and betrayal affect all of the characters and lead to the death and downfall of multiple characters.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tragedy. Macbeth represents a classic tragedy in that its protagonist travels down a dark path of treachery and violence that inevitably leads to his own downfall and death.
Detailed explanation-3: -This tragic hero must possess a tragic flaw, or hamartia, which is a good quality taken to such an extreme that it now exhibits immoral behaviour from the hero. He must also draw sympathy of his plight from the audience. Macbeth, although the protagonist, is not a tragic hero because he does not possess this hamartia.
