From the Paper:

"The purpose of this research is to examine the representation of the tragic hero or heroine in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, and Macbeth. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context in which the Shakespearean conception of heroism can be most efficiently understood, and then to discuss how tragic heroism is represented in each of the plays.

In his discussion of dramatic structure, H.D.F. Kitto distinguishes between Greek and Shakespearean tragedy, noting that "Greek tragedy presents sudden and complete disaster, or one disaster linked to another in linear fashion, while Shakespearean tragedy presents the complexive, menacing spread of ruin" (Kitto 337). Kitto applies this analysis to such Shakespearean plays as Hamlet and Macbeth, but it seems applicable as well to Romeo and Julie.."
