Element 6: Tragic pattern is a specific pattern of writing used in Macbeth. Macbeth is great warrior, but greed and misreading of the witches prophecy cause him to have great urgency and kill his king. On the other hand, the allies of the story isolate themselves in England as their country falls to ruin, as they recognize Macbeth is the cause for their troubles they begin to mobilize. Calling upon the English army they march on Macbeth to restore Scotland to its former glory. And they achieve it as they kill Macbeth and establish Malcolm as king. The audience sees throughout the play Macbeth's possible greatness dwindle to his tragic flaw of believing the witches and becoming greedy, then when Scotland is at its worst, order is restored with the death of Macbeth.

Element 2- Tragic Flaw: A tragic flaw is when the epic hero of a tragic story has one flaw that ultimately leads to the end making it a tragic story. Macbeth strongly desires to have a lot of power. He is willing to do anything and everything to gain power even if it means murdering someone.

Element 6 tragic patterns: Macbeth becomes king after he kills Duncan. In the first act his flaw is cowardly and in the second act he becomes more murderous. Macbeth then thinks he is invincible (misreadings) and he becomes a tyrant rather than being a king to his people. Macbeth starts to gradually isolate himself from his peers and his marriage dissolves a bit. Macbeth just kept getting more evil and didn’t recognize his flaws. Macduff kills Macbeth in the end and Malcolm becomes king.

Element 3 - Tragedy, Human Flaws, and Responsibility

In Shakespearean tragedies, the downfall of a main character is brought on by their own actions throughout the story, rather than being "sent" by someone else. Throughout Macbeth, Macbeth gives into his greed, crawling his way to the top by murdering those who stand in his way. However, he fails to realize that with every action, the consequences of his actions pile up. Following Duncan and Banquo's murders, those around Macbeth begin to see the evil in him, and therefore, they turn against him. His own actions brought about the hatred towards him that led to his downfall.

Element 3: Plot: The plot of the story from start to finish is constantly building up to the death of the hero. In Macbeth, we see Macbeth before he is king, then his rise to power, and then ultimately his death. Also, the calamities that befall the hero are unusual and exceptionally disastrous. For Macbeth, he has many downfalls throughout the play. He has hallucinations, and he takes the witches prophecies too literally. These tragic downfalls lead to his death at the end of the play.

Element 4- The Abnormal, The Supernatural, Fate/Fortune, Chance: Shakespeare usually adds things like insanity, hallucinations, etc. Something else that Shakespeare normally adds in his writings is supernatural objects and people like ghosts and witches. This could tie into Macbeth because of the hallucinations Macbeth encountered and the witches that were involved. Macbeth hallucinates that he sees a bloody dagger, after the murder. The witches are all throughout the story and are trying to tell Macbeth things.

Element 2- A tragic flaw is when an epic hero has just one flaw that will in the end be the reason for their inevitable fall in a tragic story. One of the most famous examples of a tragic flaw is Achilles and his Achilles heel, the story is as a baby Achilles was dipped into a water that made him invincible, but his father held him by one of his heels making that the only part on his body that could be harmed, which is where the Romans ended up shooting him with an arrow killing him. Macbeth's tragic flaw was his greed and hunger for power.

Element 3 - The Tragic "Story"
Explanation of the Calamity: In Shakespeare's writing, the hero's suffering usually is striking, unexpected, and/or in contrast with previous happiness and/or glory. Throughout the plot progression of Macbeth, Macbeth goes from the story's hero to its villain. During the early stages of the play, Macbeth is known as a heroic fighter who is noble and brave. Macbeth suffers due to his desire for power and authority. That craving for power leads him to kill Duncan and take over the throne. The ensuing suffering takes the form of ghosts, spirits, and inevitably his death. The once highly regarded Macbeth transforms into a cruel tyrant due to his obsession with power. The Macbeth that was first introduced is far different than the Macbeth that is killed by Macduff at the end of the play. Macbeth's suffering and ultimate downfall is striking, unexpected, and in contrast to his previous glory.

Element 4- Abnormal, Supernatural, Fate/Fortune/Chance
Shakespeare uses things that are abnormal to help pull ones in and the clarify statements better. Some explains of the abnormal and supernatural things that happen in Macbeth are the witches and them telling Macbeth his prophecies. This is one of the plots of the story that help lay out when is going to happen with Macbeth and the others around him. Another explain is when Banquo's ghost at table and it is used to freak out Macbeth. Causing the audience reading to be surprised and also wonder how Macbeth will react to it.

Element 5- Tragic Conflicts
The action of the protagonist/tragic hero is most often motivated by external and internal conflicts. This then leads to complications that snowball effect into other complications, which then ultimately results to the tragic solution. In Macbeth, the conflict that he ultimately faces is trying to do everything he can to ensure his position as king, leading him to do evil things. External conflict usually involves two people, one being a hero. There are two groups, one usually led by this hero, and there are specific passions, tendencies, etc. that animate the group. In Macbeth, this could include Macbeth himself and those trying to defeat him. Internal conflict involves the tragic hero dealing with some inward struggle. The conception of outer and inner struggle includes the action of "spiritual forces".  They usually generate some type of turmoil for the hero. The witches could be considered this spiritual force that ultimately led to Macbeth's internal struggle on whether he should go against his morals to ensure his position as king.
