Tragedy- Macbeth

Macbeth is interesting in the fact that it is one of the few stories of Shakespeare's time in which a woman is the truly dominant character in control of a man. This is most evident in the scene in which LAdy Macbeth convinces Macbeth to murder Duncan. Macbeth is shown as uncertain, and somewhat weak and submissive to the crazy, power hungry whims of his wife. The entire tragic happenings of the play could have been avoided if Macbeth was strong enough in that scene to tell his wife that he would not murder Duncan.
Of all the genres Shakespeare writes, the tragedys are the most easy to predict. That cannot be described any other way but tragic. No matter how much one may pull for a certain character or hope for a happy ending, things never turn out in anything but complete tragedy for everyone. Romeo and Juliet both die. Hamlet dies. Even in the histories, Richard III dies. And of course, Macbeth dies. Shakespeare seems to take tragedy very literally and leaves very little room for title characters to survive his play.
Personally, I did not enjoy Macbeth nearly as much as other Shakespeare that I have read. It doesn't contain any characters that I find relatable or am even able to sympathize with as I am with other plays. I've also heard the story too many times for it to have any real effect when Macbeth meets the witches or sees Banquo's ghost or Macduff slays Macbeth.
