Question

Describe the characteristics of a tragic hero.

Answer 1

Answer&Explanation:A tragic hero is described as a noble character that people usually respect and sympathize with , but whose flaws result to their own death or doom.

For example Macbeth is a noble hero who is liked and respected by people but his pride and ambition to be a king is what led to his fall.

His flaws led to his doom.

some consider Macbeth to be a villain but if we look closer to the story we realize that there is a point when we can sympathize with Macbeth , because he didn't want to kill , most of the crimes he committed was perpetrated by his wife.

Macbeth's was very loyal to the king at the beginning and this loyalty show us his side of greatness but Macbeth has a Fatal Flaw which is pride and ambition to be a king , so eventhough he wants to remain loyal and not kill the king but when his wife threaten his manhood , his pride tales over and with that ambition of wanting to be a king behind his mind and ends up agreeing to kill the king.

He will give everything to have the throne and this lead to his own fall.
