Abstract
In this article, the analysis of Shakespearean tragedies is presented. It reveals that Shakespeare’s plays are full of conflicting thoughts, and expression is so convincing that it is not possible to plan a system of philosophy out of them. Each character, from the king to the clown, from the most highly intellectual to the simpleton, judges life from his own point of view and says something that is so deep and appropriate at the playwright’s versatility of genius. So is the case with the conception of tragedy.
Highlights
Shakespearean tragic heroes as Othello, King Lear, Macbeth and Hamlet are always sick of life and in none of them can be found the glean of youthful vigour but his hero is always a person of high estate and noble stature and his sufferings are of his unusual kind
King Lear is one of the tragedies of character and the cause of his tragedy lies in Lear himself because he divides his kingdom between his two wicked daughters and ignores the sincere one
Lear’s vanity is punished and readers feel that he suffers more than his sin. His tragedy is deepened by the storm scene and one feels that King Lear is a cosmic tragedy
