Aristotle outlined that a Tragic Hero
- He must be "Better
than we are", superior to the average man in some way.
- Must evoke Pity and
Fear - the best to do this is - if he is imperfect.
- Mixture of Good and Evil - more compelling than a character who is merely good.
- Suffers
because of his Hamartia.
- In the midst
of Irony.
- Meets a Sad Ending, but gains Wisdom through Suffering.
