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\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWilliam Shakespeare was born to John Shakespeare and Mary Arden in late April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon.
