Which character is the best example of a tragic hero in macbeth

I would say that the best example of a tragic hero in Macbeth is Macbeth himself.

A tragic hero is a character, usually the protagonist, who is destined to fail - something will happen that will lead to his or her downfall at the end of the play. Macbeth is no different - he used to be a soldier, an ambitious one, but not someone who would stoop down to murder to achieve his goals. At least, not until he hears the prophecy and his wife urges him to act on it.

These events start leading him to his demise - he makes one bad decision after another, and eventually dies due to his tragic flaws.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
