{"product_id":"four-tragedies","title":"Four Tragedies","description":"Shakespeare''s four greatest tragedies – Macbeth, King Lear, Hamlet and Othello – in a stunning Penguin Clothbound Classics edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe theme of the great Shakespearean tragedies is a hero''s fall from grace due to a fatal character flaw. Whether it is the ruthless ambition of Macbeth or the folly of Lear, the irresolution of Hamlet or the suspicion of Othello, the cause of the tragedy – even when it is the murder of a king – is trifling compared to the calamity that it unleashes. Despite their flawed natures, however, the tragic protagonists all have a nobility that emphasizes the greatness of humanity. From this paradox the audience is brought to a greater understanding of – and sympathy with – suffering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe four tragedies in this collection are accompanied by notes and an introduction to each text.","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56650369499471,"sku":"9780241726976","price":38.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9780241726976_1-four-tragedies.jpg?v=1765917756","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/four-tragedies","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
