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":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51017685827927,"sku":"9780241726976","price":19.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780241726976.jpg?v=1750774346","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/four-tragedies-9780241726976","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
