What assertion? 

BV is not a tragic figure. He's not a protagonist in one of
Shakespeare's plays or in any tragedy. I've no idea why one would
compare BV and Macbeth in terms of tragedy. 
Are you saying that VL is a tragedy and BV is its tragic figure? 
You said that a tragic figure is not all bad and must have some good in
him. That may be true depending on your definition of tragic figure. But
maybe what you have in mind is allegory. Is BV an allegorical figure? Is
he, as DL says, bad & shit?
