Shakespearean tragedy is influenced by Greek tragedies and do not represent any particular creeds of Shakespeare but instead the focus on aspects of life in specific ways. The focus of a tragedy is normally on the hero who is often of high estate. It follows actions of the hero that change his fortune and fate eventually leading to a tragic death, usually their own. Shakespearean tragedies highlight and emphasise the consequences of human action. Within the tragedy there is usually foreshadowing of some kind that hints towards a tragic event, often death. As well as human error, there is also a part played by ‘chance’ or ‘accident’ within the tragedy that form the outcome of events and the fate of the hero. All Shakespearean tragedies involve some sort of suffering and calamity that add to the dramatic, tragic plays.
A Shakespearean tragedy is predominantly the story of one person, the tragic story that concerns them and inevitably their death. Within Shakes. tragedy the 'hero' is generally someone of high degree with an established social class or with established wealth and his greatness often means that their death effects a whole nation for example as opposed to only those within their social spheres. Though shakespeare often uses mental conditions, the supernatural and accidental circumstances (chance) to create his tragedy the predominant factor is that of the character and their actions. As well as this, the tragic hero is never necessarily a 'good' person, a characteristic that often attributes to their fall.
