Shakespearean tragedy
Shakespearean tragedy is the classification of drama written by William Shakespeare which has a noble protagonist, who is flawed in some way,〔 placed in a stressful heightened situation and ends with a fatal conclusion. The plots of Shakespearean tragedy focus on the reversal of fortune of the central character(s) which leads to their ruin and ultimately, death.〔 Shakespeare wrote several different classifications of plays throughout his career and the labeling of his plays into categories is disputed amongst different sources and scholars.〔 There are 10 Shakespeare plays which are always classified as tragedies〔 and several others which are disputed; there are also Shakespeare plays which fall into the classifications of comedy, history, or romance/tragicomedy that share fundamental attributes of a Shakespeare tragedy but do not wholly fit in to the category.〔 The plays which provide the strongest fundamental examples of the genre of Shakespearean tragedy are ''Hamlet'', ''Othello'', ''King Lear,'' ''Macbeth'' 〔 and ''Antony and Cleopatra''.〔
==Qualifiers and Classification of Shakespearean tragedy==
The primary characters in a Shakespearean tragedy are of high status, either by class like ''King Lear'' and ''Hamlet'' or by military rank like ''Othello'' and ''Macbeth''. The main character(s) in a Shakespearean tragedy further the central conflict of the play to the point that their lives, families, and/or socio-political structures are destroyed.〔 The title character(s) along with many other characters in Shakespeare's tragedies die as part of the story of the play. Many of Shakespeare's history plays share the qualifiers of a Shakespearean tragedy, but because they are based on real figures throughout the History of England, they were classified as 'histories' in the First Folio. The Roman tragedies — ''Julius Cæsar'', ''Antony and Cleopatra'' and ''Coriolanus'' — are also based on historical figures, but because their source stories were foreign and ancient they are almost always classified as tragedies rather than histories. Shakespeare's romances or tragicomic plays were written late in his career and published originally under either tragedy or comedy share some elements of tragedy featuring a high status central character but end happily like Shakespearean comedies. Several hundred years after Shakespeare's death, scholar F.S. Boas also coined a fifth category, Shakespearean problem play, for plays that don't fit neatly into a single classification because of their subject matter, setting, or ending. The classifications of certain Shakespeare plays are still debated among scholars.
