A tragic hero or tragic heroine is the protagonist of a tragedy. Aristotle shared his view of what makes a tragic hero in his Poetics. Aristotle suggests that a hero of a tragedy must evoke in the audience a sense of pity or fear, saying, “the change of fortune presented must not be the spectacle of a virtuous man brought from prosperity to adversity." Macbeth is a perfect example of a tragic hero, for that very reason, not to mention he dies at the end of the play. Macbeth's fatal flaw<span> in the play is unchecked ambition, that is a desire for power and position, namely to be king, which is more important to him than anything else in life.</span>

1. What are some allusions in "Goodbye to all that" by Joan Didion? Explain why it is an allusion and what is the purpose of usi
Oduvanchick [21]

1. I read the whole essay and the only allusion that she uses is Xanadu. Joan Didion writes, nobody lives at Xanadu meaning nobody lives in the paradise.

Allusion is a brief and indirect reference to a person, place, thing or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance. It does not tell in detail the thing, idea, place or person.

Xanadu is a mitical place. It is located in the north of Shangri La that was introduced in 1933 in the fictional novel Lost Horizon by author James Hilton

2.- The symbol that Joan Didion uses is that nobody lives at Xanadu that it is paradise on earth for her because New York was appealing to the author even though she was not well paid and didn't have the best food on the table.
