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.   The four tragedies in this collection are accompanied by notes and an introduction to each text.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55731636896120,"sku":"9780241726976","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9780241726976.jpg?v=1794254847","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9780241726976","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
