Shakespeare's Tragedies and a Theater Lesson: Crash Course Theater #15

Shakespeare's tragedies…were tragic. But they had a few jokes. They also changed the way tragedies were written. Characters like Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear had tragic consequences, but they were sympathetic characters in many ways. This represented a big change from the way Seneca and the Greeks wrote tragedies, and it caught on.
