The Tragedy Of Hamlet
.... and has to spend his remaining days as a wandering, sightless beggar, guided at every painful step by his daughter, Antigone. A misconception about tragedies is that nothing good comes out of them, but it is actually the opposite.

In Hamlet, although Hamlet dies, it is almost for the best. How could he have any pleasure during the rest of his life, with his .....

She also urged Macbeth into doing it and that is what makes her part of this crime, but she is not as guilty as Macbeth. He really didn't have to listen to what his wife said. Macbeth had a mind of his own and he could make his own decision. .....
