 * Tragic Hero**

__Definition__: A man who is highly regarded by society and who is depicted as noble, but who also is flawed. He is described as perfect except for his one fatal flaw, which leads to his downfall. An Aristotelian hero must have four characteristics : goodness, superiority, a tragic flaw, and recognition of his flaw.

Characters in tragedies should have the following characteristics:
 * 1) they must be good
 * 2) they must be true to type
 * 3) realistic
 * 4) stay true to their emotions and personality throughout the play
 * 5) they must be probabale
 * 6) idealized

__Example__: Hamlet is a tragic hero that fulfills Aristotle's requirements: he suffers more than he deserves, he was doomed from the start, he was noble in nature and also imperfect. http://www.online-literature.com/shakespeare/hamlet/
