Archetype: Tragic Hero Review: What is an Archetype? The main character of a Classical Tragedy is the Tragic Hero. Author Oscar Wilde in his book A Picture of Dorian Gray on the reason we like the Tragic Hero:

Archetype: Tragic Hero A character whose fate matters, figuratively (through symbolism) or literally, to a nation or people. A character who challenges fate; struggles against supernatural forces or doom. A character who has a tragic flaw A character who fails in the end; they make choices that bring about their destruction and/or fate prevent success. A character who develops deeper self-knowledge through suffering.

Archetype: Tragic Hero The character who usually goes on a quest. The character has both good and bad in his personality. Can be protagonists or antagonists (“good guy” or “bad guy”)

Modern Tragic Hero Modern twists: Society may be oppressor Does not have to be high born, more often a common man May/not result in recognition of tragic flaw Harsh Punishment: May/not die May/not be mourned

Common Tragic Flaws (personality flaws) Hubris: excessive pride or confidence or (for the Greeks going against the gods) Ambition: the desire to achieve greatness or status Indecisiveness: failing to make a choice quick enough for fear of being wrong Misplaced-Trust: the hero trusts the wrong people despite evidence they should not Lack of Self-control: the character is unable to control their emotions, behavior, reactions, and desires Lack of Self-Knowledge: In the novels you’ve read here at SHS, which characters have had these Tragic Flaws?
