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","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53668399710546,"sku":"9780241726976","price":32.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_2737945e-f764-40f4-ab46-ccb00237af61.jpg?v=1780762975","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/four-tragedies","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
