AB  - Argues that although the protagonist of Macbeth is a murderous tyrant, the play insistently makes readers and spectators aware of his intense suffering, which he himself identifies with his rejection of grace. Concludes that, therefore, the play's tragic nature is inseparable from its imaginative evocation of compassion on an explicitly Christian model.
