AB  - Examines tragic heroes in Macbeth, Hamlet, and King Lear that seek maternal care, as well as female characters that reject the mother role. While drawing on historical, feminist, and Freudian criticism, contends that "the three tragic heroes look to the female characters for maternal guidance, only to be disappointed."
