Definition of Tragic Hero
|
They are grand and noble characters. They are men, as Aristotle says, "of high estate," who enjoy "great reputation and prosperity." Tragic heros are priviledged, exalted personages who have earned their high repute and status by heroic exploit (Othello), by intellegence (Oedipus), or by their inherent nobility. (Othello and Oedipus)
