Answer 5

The Scottish Play is one of Shakespeare's four great tragedies. The essence of a tragedy in the theatrical and literary tradition is that the action of the work is driven by a central character who has a particular flaw. That flaw (commonly called the tragic flaw) ultimately leads to the ruin of that character and their close associates. Like Shakespeare's other great tragedies (Othello, King Lear, and Hamlet), the official title of the Scottish Play is the character with the tragic flaw at the center of the action. In the case of the Scottish Play, the tragic flaw is the title character's ambition that leads him to commit regicide to rise above his proper station. This act of regicide ultimately leads to multiple killings and the civil war that results in his death.
