Macbeth Tragic Hero Assignment.

For this assignment, you will be using information from your (hopefully) complete Macbeth grid.

Using the evidence you have gathered, make a case for or against Macbeth's Tragic Hero status.

Must haves:

- Name, block, and date

- Your short assignment must include evidence and an explanation of choice/context for 3-4 different characteristics (you do not have to do them all).

- A conclusion stating whether or not Macbeth is a Tragic Hero, and why.

- Approximately 1-2 pages long. Typed. 2-4 pages if double-spaced.

The ideal structure of the assignment is as follows:

Intro P.

Characteristic1

Characteristic2

Characteristic3

Conclusion P.

Intro – If you are stuck, use the following template for the introduction:

In this assignment, I will argue X by stating and explaining examples of Y.

Ideally you will have filled in all sections of the grid, so you have at least one example or counter example for each characteristic. You only need to explicitly include 3-4 characteristics in your assignment, but to make the final judgement of whether or not Macbeth is a tragic hero, you need to have an idea of his standing for each characteristic.

If you find that Macbeth has many characteristics but not all of them (he does not qualify as a tragic hero), state what you have found and give the appropriate conclusion.
