Definition of the Aristotle Tragic Hero
Aristotle, who was a great Greek philosopher, was a lover of
poetry and a literature-rich
person as he mechanized complex classical tragedy.
tragic hero is a character who faces A
[4]
adversity or portrays courage in the face of danger and during
the downfalls which come along
their way, they decisively confront them and thus becoming a
hero or the protagonist in the play.
However, in other settings, the tragic hero is displayed as a
character who demonstrates who
evokes an aspect of pity and fear in the audience since is a man
of misfortunes that come to him
through the horror of judgment. Aristotle referred to the
challenges or the downfalls as tragedies
which come about as a result of fate or by his own mistakes
or otherwise due to the various
social reasons ( Frye 46-68).

Aristotle used his character, Oedipus Rex as an example of a
tragic hero and helps him
exemplify the aspect of the protagonist throughout his
work. Oedipus is a character who
demonstrates many of the characteristics of a real tragic hero.
As an example of a perfect tragic
hero, he comes out as a person who has hubris or excess pride
so that he becomes blind to the
plain truth. He refuses to lend ears to the wise men such as
Tiresias, who makes a prediction that
Oedipus has killed his father, Laius ( The tragic nature is
outlined in Adade-Yeboah et al 23-28).
the struggles Oedipus has against his fate, perhaps
which resulted from his weakness, which

&cite=1&hl=textonly#1

foster fear in the audience. His downfalls though are his own
created problems emanating from
his weakness making him fall from his own estate and face
undeserved punishment.
[0]
The misapprehension of tragic hero is founded on the

misreading of the word Aristotle's
Hamartia, which is eventually developed as the tragic flaw. In
the development of the historic
[0]
model, Oedipus is brought down by a flaw, his excess pride or
the hubris which made him miss
the mark as indicated by the use of the word hamartia. In his
work, its true say that the concept of
hamartia is concerned with the actions of Oedipus rather not his
character which is evident in the
notion that he is a tragic characteristically flawed person who
was then brought down by the
deep, internal unfitness and insufficiency for taking up
the leadership and rule. Oedipus's
[0]
position that he is greater than the gods, that he transcended the
destiny decreed by Apollo's own
was his flaw and showed his rooted pride ( Zepf et al 685-707).
However, to understand this particular model, one has to be able
to explain them as a
[0]
matter of rhetoric or for political convenience, the prospects
underlying the fact that Oedipus
often proclaimed the supremacy of gods and the importance of
promising what their due. The

health of the people with the help of the gods would be made
certain. But although this was a
[0]
compelling reason and moral lesson, ideally an ahistoric
reversal of the moral standards of it's
the ancient civilization which might be a base for his resistance.
[2]
The tragic happenings of the king, Oedipus, originate from his
flaws, emanating from the
time when he was once a small child, through his youth up to
the time when he was grown up
and while he is the king. He goes through the so many
challenges as a result of his own
[3]
weakness, further exemplifying the tragic hero realities. While
Aristotle's definition of the tragic
[4]
hero is having tremendous downfalls due to their own weakness,
this is essentially what makes

the story Oedipus. The king struggled through a number of
challenges in his era. The land that is
ruled by king Oedipus, Thebes is experiencing plague for which
Oedipus is committed to overt.
Nevertheless, the actions and intentions to rid the land of the
plagues were purely out of king's
love for his people, little did he know he was welcoming trouble
in his own life that eventually
led to the pitiful fate (( Zepf et al 685-707).
Determined to relieve the people of Thebes of the plague, he
sends out his brother in law,
Creon to the House of the Apollo (believed to deliver the
message from the gods) to inquire the
oracles of how it was possible to end the plague. Upon return,
Creon informed the king that once
[5]

the killer of the previous king, Laius is found, then Thebes
would be healed of the plague. Since
[5]
this was the prophetic solution to the current
stalemate, Oedipus vows to find the killer and
banish him, only he knew he had deco ted the grave where he
would be buried. The Chorus ra
(voice of the people of Thebes) demanded the king consults
Teiresias, the blind prophet.
[1]
When Teiresias was brought to the king, initially he became
reluctant to let the king get
the answers for his question citing that the king is not willing to
know the answer, but after the
king threatens Teiresias with death, he breaks the news that the
king himself was the killer of
Laius, and further insinuates that his marriage was a sinful
union. Taking issue with the response,
the king concludes that Creon was the one who had bribed
Teiresias to say what he said. Even
with the second oracles of the prophecy ( , Oedipus does not
believe the gods, Zepf et al 685-707)
which makes his challenges amplified. When he
dismisses Teiresias out of fury of what he

disclosed, Teiresias walked out announcing to the
people of Thebes that Laius killer is right
before him, revealing that he was his father's killer and his
mother's husband, and prophesied that
although he came seeing, he will leave blind a prophecy that
comes true at the end of the kings
era.

Oedipus in his defense or struggles to fight out of his woes, he
blames Creon where he
charges him with treason, however, the intervention of Jocasta
and Chorus made the king free
him, though against his will. Jocasta misleads the king that
there is no truth with the oracles of
the prophets, a thing that heightens the flaws of the failure to
believe in the divine power. king's
[1]
To justify her claims, Jocasta gives a story that long ago,

oracles told his Laius that his son
would kill him and as a result, he and Jocasta gave their infant
son to a shepherd so that he can
be left in the hillside and die with a pin through its ankles (
However, Laius was Carlson 33-51).
murdered by robbers but not his own son, proofing
that the oracles were not right. Oedipus
realizes something strange with his story because the place
where his father was killed wife's
corresponds to the place where he killed a stranger. To unravel
the dilemma, Oedipus sent out for
the only shepherd witness of his death who claimed that five
robbers had killed him. The father's
kin wishes that the witness confesses the killers of his Laius
were the five robbers, and then he
would be spared and exonerated ( Erskine 5-20).
King Oedipus once ignored the oracles while he was young as
he confirms to Jocasta that
the stories shared by her had some similarity with his past.
Once a young person, he met a man
[8]
who informed him that his parents were not his real father and
mother and when he went to the
oracles to establish his lineage, he was told that he would kill

his father and marry his mother. He
became furies, left his hometown and never returned,
disobeying the gods. On his way, he came
across a man at the crossroad and killed the man because of
insulting him, which makes him
scared that this man could be his father ( Zepf et al 685-707).
His curiosity of knowing the truth about his downfalls made him
became more fearful of
the revelation, but yet he insisted to know. When Jocasta
knew the truth, she discouraged
Oedipus from doing an investigation into the matter but then, he
had promised to do it before the
Surname 5
people of Thebes so as to remove the plague. Jocasta left the
palace after learning of the truth an
unsuccessfully pleading with Oedipus to drop the
investigations. The old shepherd finally reveals
[7]
that the king was indeed the son of Laius and Jocasta and the

same boy who was left in the
hillside to die due to the oracle prophecy ( The truth was
devastating and it Zepf et al 685-707).
marked the Oedipus exit of the palace. Wanting to kill Jocasta,
Oedipus left out with a sword to
look for her, only to find her having hanged herself in her room.
Oedipus he removed his eyes
with the sword and asked to be banished from the land, leaving
his daughters with Creon and
marking the pitiful tragic end of Oedipus family.
From the tragic occurrences of the Sophocles “Oedipus”,
Oedipus the king so well
exemplified the characters of a tragic hero. According to
Aristotle, a tragic hero experiences his
own downfall as a result of their own weakness, which makes
the critical development of this
story, where the king suffered his own negligence.
