The document discusses the concept of a tragic flaw or "hamartia" as defined by Aristotle and discussed by other scholars. It notes that Aristotle coined the term hamartia to describe an error or mistake that causes a tragic character's downfall. While the American Heritage Dictionary and A.C. Bradley define it as a tragic flaw, Humphrey House sees it simply as an error. The document also discusses Arthur Miller's view that the modern tragic hero lacks what Aristotle saw as necessary to sacrifice oneself for dignity.

Hamartia so far as Humphrey House is concerned is an Error or the Missing of a Mark The meaning is closer to what Aristotle writes about Tragic Hero in his ‘Poetics’
4. Tragic Hero According to Arthur Miller Arthur Miller in his Essay on Tragedy and Common Man twits, “ There is no tragic hero in modern literature. The concept itself is as old as Aristotle. The modern man is a person who is ready to lay down his life to achieve something what in general may be called his personal dignity.”
