"Kronos was the ruler of the Titans, and he had great power and fortune. He had five children, who would eventually become the Olympians, and he is afraid of his children taking his power away from him. To prevent that, he decided to get rid of his children by taking every child and throwing them into a deep, deep well. However, his wife Rhea took them from the well and smuggled them to another town, but over time Kronos learned of their presence in another town and swallowed them whole. Luckily, Rhea was able to smuggle Zeus away safely before his father swallowed him, replacing him with a bundle of rocks. Metis, his caretaker while on the mortal world, knew about Kronos and his plot and told Zeus to pretend to serve him his food and drink, secretly poisoned by a poisoned flower. When Kronos swallowed the flower, he vomited his children out whole, who teamed together and overthrew him. Kronos's insecurity led to his demise." I edited and remade some parts to be more accurate. Some of your story was a little off so I fixed and rewrote it for you.
I believe that the options that best describe the qualities of the tragic heroine in these two passages are:
- They both show the main character sacrificing her life for her principles.
- They both show the main character experiencing a downfall and awaiting death.
- They both show moments in the main characters' experiences that evoke pity.
The tragic heroine trope portrays a female protagonist who ends up suffering terribly due to a fatal flaw in her character.
