We just read this play in class. I thought the story line of the play was brilliant, how it all fit together to make for one awesome story. the play was not based solely on tragedy, but instead it was very ironic. It differs from the reoccurring theme in other tragedies of "Tragedy can happen to anyone, this is why it is popular", because in this play, the tragedy actually did happen to a king. I feel that it makes it a bit harder to relate to than other pieces because, the main character was an an abandoned king who murdered people. How many people are actually in a similar situation as this? Probably not very many.
I think that the main character was a good fit for a tragedy. He was mostly good intention, and so the reader feels slightly connected to him. When his downfall occurs, it just makes it more pressing because he was a good man. This was probably the most tragic thing we have read so far.
