Which Shakespearean Tragedy Are You?

Intelligent, reflective, and duty-bound, you are among the most intelligent of tragedies. While violence and anger do direct some of your actions, you are by your nature a gentle, academic person, who would really rather not resort to violent means.

You are ambitious. You are clever. You are certain in your own destiny. LIke Macbeth, you have clear goals in mind, and nothing will stop you from achieving them--even if that means to resorting to less than friendly measures. But be careful, as Macbeth learns, sometimes ambition can be dangerous!

You love deeply. You have overcome great obstacles in your life, landing a position of power and respect even though most people resent you for it. That being said, you are very sensitive about your position and can lash out at what you perceive as threats to your success. Trust your instincts, which have lead you well, and make sure not to let your naysayers get you down!

Of all the emotions that human beings experience, love is by far the most important to you. Your thoughts, actions, and motives are all determined by love, and you love freely and without prejudice. However, this excess of passion can lead you to be impulsive and even reckless in other situations. Be careful to use your brain as well as your heart!

You know the importance of politics that are thought out and have the people's best interest in mind. That being said, you also know that these ideals come at a price. As a profound observer, you are a student of power and the profound effects it can have on people. Make sure that, no matter how complex your emotional ties get, you stay on the track of idealism.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth...These are words you can live your life by. Your polar morality allows you to make certain decisions with ease that would leave others floundering and unsure. That being said, sometimes your determination and ruthlessness can render others justifiably upset. Temper your cunning with your kindness, if you don't want to end up like Titus!
