England's national poet William Shakespeare began penning tragedies as he thinks that other English poets’ tragic tales were deficient with its imaginative point and artistic structure. The Bard of Avon used the catastrophe and miseries of a prominent person as the main character in his tragic compositions. As for the audience, thrill and highpoint of the plot were just an auxiliary attraction. William Shakespeare’s narratives were bizarrely astonishing with their timeless themes and stagy greatness; his works are still perceptible to the readers until this period.
At the present time, the English playwright is adored and worshiped. He’s recognized as a hero for his great impact on world literature. His plays were transcribed in the traditional style with intricate allegories and rhetorical sayings; he predominantly used a metrical style involving of lines of unrhymed iambic pentameter, better known as blank verse. William Shakespeare’s achievement in literature doesn’t transpire the misfortunes of his made-up characters on which he devastates the hero of his masterpieces. The following are just five of his best illustrated tragedies transcribed during the Renaissance era.
The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark
The Tragedy of Macbeth
The Tragedy of King Lear
The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet
The Tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra
