Question

Shakespeare never lets the protagonists of his tragedies...

Answer 1

experience true happiness or fulfillment. Instead, he subjects them to various trials, challenges, and ultimately tragic endings. Whether it's Macbeth's descent into madness and death, Hamlet's internal struggle and ultimate demise, or Romeo and Juliet's tragic love story, Shakespeare's protagonists are often doomed to tragic fates. This serves to highlight the complexities of human nature, the consequences of unchecked ambition, and the enduring power of fate.
