Is Macbeth A Kindhearted Villain On A Tragic Hero

A question was raised as to whether Macbeth was a kindhearted villain on a tragic hero.

So far our class has only read one act in the book during class. The story so far includes three

witches­ better known as the three Weird Sisters Macbeth, his wife, Banquo, and King Duncan.

The story is laid out like this: Three witches are gathered to speak with each other about future

events. Macbeth has just fought and won in a rough battle against Scotland. Macbeth becomes the

slept. These guards were there to protect the king with their very own lives, putting him before

themselves as servants, but as the queen planned they would not feel the same after a few drinks of

wine. She had come up with a devious scheme to get the guards to drink plenty of wine so that

they would become very drunk and fall unconscious. Once they were asleep and showed no signs

of waking up soon, Macbeth would venture to where the king slept and kill him swiftly. Then he

was to dispose of any and every bit evidence from the crime scene. When morning came, Macbeth

and his wife would be able to blame the guards for their own crime, successfully pinning the blame

on two drunkards who passed out the night before. As a conclusion, I

believe that Macbeth is, in fact, a tragic hero. It took me a lot of time to finally decide this, but
