  1. Definition: TRAGIC HERO(from Blue Lit book) • The term tragic hero, first used by the Greek philosopher Aristotle, refers to a central character in a drama who is dignified or noble. • According to Aristotle, a tragic hero possesses a defect, or tragic flaw, that brings about or contributes to his downfall. • This flaw may be poor judgment, pride (hubris), weakness, or an excess of an admirable quality. • The tragic hero, noted Aristotle, recognizes his or her own flaw and its consequences, but only after it is too late to change the course of events.
