I believe that Macbeth is not a tragic hero I think that he is just a butcher I think this because of the following reasons firstly Macbeth is supposed to be a strong noble warrior and was  meant protect his king and his country but once he met the witches  and they told him about the prophecy he went on a killing streak and then just started killing anyone who he thought was a threat of taking the crown and then his first target was his king Duncan and they (Macbeth and lady Macbeth) we’re planning this murder since the moment they found out that Duncan gave the crown Malcolm and Macbeth was angry so he planned to kill Duncan when he arrived at his palace and that’s exactly what he did but what he did next was a bit surprising especially because of what people said about him like how he was a great warrior and pretty much one them the fight and how he was so brave and would never back down from anything but once Duncan arrived at the castle he didn’t kill him face to face he waited tell he was sleeping and then killed him there and when he did that he didn’t want to be the suspect he covered the guards in all of Duncan’s blood and spread on them and also hide the weapons on them so that everyone thinks its them and unfortunately it worked when Macbeth got chosen to be king he got the guards and brought them to a room and killed them so that they couldn’t tell anyone who actually killed Duncan but I doubt anyone would have listened or even believed them and they were close because before he died Duncan gave him the honour of being thane of Cawdor and he was the thane of Glamis and Duncan chose him over lots of different people and then he goes and kills him.
