Pity And Fear Audience Feels
908 words
ter> According to the classical view, tragedy
should arouse feelings of pity and fear in the
audience. Does macbeth do this?
Shakespeare's Macbeth is definitely a tragedy in
the sense that it arouses feelings of pity and
fear in the audience. Macbeth is a weak minded man
who, if sees an opportunity for power follows his
ambitions and takes it, even if this is not the
rightful thing to do. He is easily persuaded and
suffers great guilt. Macbeth the character on his
own creates the feeli...

imagery that Shakespeare uses adds to the evil,

Titus Andronicus Revenge Tragedy
707 words
Titus Andronicus There is an opinion that
Shakespeare couldnt write Titus Andronicus. The
arguments against Shakespeare's authorship seem to
be not only esthetic. The person, who wrote this
tragedy, piled up plenty of murders and villainous
acts. The tragedy is full of grandiloquent
phrases, false pathos, clamorous and garish
recitation. Psychological motivation of the
characters actions is either primitive, or absent.
It is difficult to deny these facts. Titus
Andronicus indeed has nothing in c...

Macbeth: A Tale of Two Theories Macbeth (c. 1607),

the form of the three witches. The second suggests
that there is no supernatural force working
against Macbeth, which therefore makes him
responsible fo...
