    does Shakespeare retain a degree of sympathy for Macbeth through to the end of the play? “Not in the legions Of horrid hell can come a devil more damn’d In Evils to top Macbeth” If a play is to function as a tragedy‚ we‚ the audience‚ should feel a certain degree of sympathy for the protagonist through to the close of the play.
