Question

One paragraph about who is the tragic hero of Antigone

Answer 1

Heroes come in many forms. Some such as immense in size and strength as  Hercules, some in the form of people that are shunned upon, such as Harriet  Tubman, and some that are only valorous heroes to some, such as Kurt Cobain.  These heroes have many characteristics that make people flock to their side and  follow them without a thought of hesitation. In Sophocles' Antigone the hero  is a women that believes in her heart far stronger than that of her leader's  rule. This brings up many characteristics that are shown within her that are  also seen in other heroes. One being that she is up against an impossible enemy,  one who does not fit well into society's mold, and is destroyed by her own pride.
