Volume : II, Issue : VI, July - 2012 William Shakespeare's and Thomas Hardy's Tragic Vision. Masuda Hasin Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Tragedy', according to Shakespeare, is a serious play or serious story set in a serious
atmosphere of exceptional calamities of a hero or heroine suffering extraordinarily
leading to a catastrophe or dire consequence. This, according to A.C.Bradley, happens
due to 'hamartia' or “tragic flaw” in the hero or heroine. The hero or heroine suffers
extraordinarily due to his or her inherent defect in the character. In Shakespeare, the
heroes or heroines are not ordinary men and their sufferings are exceptional from a
height to the bottom. In Shakespeare's major tragedies, viz, Macbeth, Othello, King Lear,
Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark and Antony and Cleopatra the heroes or heroine suffer
from extraordinary calamities only due to 'hamartia' or inherent defect in their
characters. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Masuda Hasin, (2012). William Shakespeare's and Thomas Hardy's Tragic Vision.. Indian Streams Research Journal, Vol. II, Issue.
