Macbeth and Tragic Flaw
Tragic disfigure is defined as a personality reproach that makes the person commove a serious mistake so gravely that it can bring him/her death. A tragic flaw can also refer to a flawed judgment that a character has passed over a melt of action, which is sadly irrevocable. In Into the Wild, Chris McCandless can be said to have a bun in the oven committed a tragic flaw which has resulted in his death. By obstinately clinging onto his ideal way to live, McCandless boldly leaves everything behind and ventures alone into the Alaska wilderness.Without being alive(predicate) of what is to expect in Alaska and with very little preparation, McCandless simply died of starvation in a place where he presumed to be perfect. His death is ironic because preferably of finding his paradise in Alaska, he finds his burial place. Similarly, the tragedy of Macbeth is caused by his tragic flaw. While being persistent in ones belief is a virtue, too much of it becomes a deadly flaw for McCandles s.In parallel, when Macbeth is filled with excessive ambition, then ambition ceases to be a compulsive motivator but becomes a deadly flaw for him. His ambition, based on his greed for force out, has caused him unspeakable misery and torture. It has robbed him of the joy of comradeship with his wife, the bliss of acquaintance and respect from his people, and finally the very essence of his life soul as he sells himself to the evil forces. Hence, much(prenominal) tragic flaw has made him flake out everything that he sees valuable before he loses the ultimate his life.Macbeths tragic flaw begins as Macbeth chooses to believe in the witches prophecy. He secretly takes hex in the promotion to the title of Thane of Cawdor two truths are told/as elated prologues to the swelling act/of the imperial theme (I. iii. 126-129). This ambition translates to an immense power that blinds him from moral senses of right and wrong. He reckons that it is his vaulting ambition which oerleaps itself (I. vii. 27) and makes him delve indifferent to what even-handed justice dictates.This ambition becomes Macbeths tragic flaw and motivates him to protrude the gracious Duncan, to surprise the castle of Macduff, and to kill anyone who is in his way. His smashingest penalisation is far beyond death. In the end, not only that he suffers from the discharge of a dear wife but from every meaning in life. He sees life to be a series of empty tomorrow, tomorrow, and tomorrow (V. v. 18), a walking shadow (V. v. 24), a tale/told by an idiot, near of sound and fury/signifying nothing (V. . 25-7). The theme of tragic flaw connects the stallion play of Macbeth as the tragic hero falls victim to the lure of the witches and his own greed. In reading the play, one cannot but feel panic-stricken by the tragic consequence of ones failure to check off excessive ambition, as well as pitied by the fall of such a great man. The play not only is a great read, a classic masterpiece, but als o a constant monitoring device of the ills of unchecked ambition.
