Macbeth’s courage in the end of the play brings the reader full circle by once again pointing up an aspect of his noble nature.
Explanation:
Macbeth was an extremely valiant and noble Thane. He was not only trustworthy but the most honorable General under King Duncan’s rule. But his overambitious nature got the better of his nobility. His first tragic flaw was to murder the old and gentle King. Then onward he turned into a tyrant and a murderer killing people one after the other.
Ultimately he confronts Macduff, whose family he had slain, and after fighting courageously succumbs to Macduff’s blows. Although he has acted villainous yet he evokes pity and sorrow for his courage and past heroism. He is a typical Aristotelian tragic hero suffering from hamartia and ultimately generating the catharsis among the audience.
