A primary source I am using is Guardian Devil by Kevin Smith, Joe Quesada, and Jimmy Palmiotti. The part of the story I would like to focus on is Matt Murdock’s anger. In the comic, Daredevil seems to snap and become aggressive against allies. He is shown as depressed and enraged and using this part of the character is useful to show that he is a tragic hero.
