According to Aristotle the tragic hero must be a person of noble birth and prosperity whose misfortune October (8)
results, not from depravity or vice but from some hamartia (a tragic flaw or an error of judgment from the hero). August (21)
Further Aristotle is of the view that the tragic hero should be an intermediate sort of person, neither completely Comedy of Manners
good nor completely bad. Aristotle gives the example of Oedipus as a great and successful tragic hero.

It is very difficult to say that the misfortune of Oedipus results from some flaw in his character or some error Comedy

A Character Sketch of Antonio
It is Oedipus who proclaims a severe punishment for the murderer of Laius and says that he will award
punishment even to himself if he is found guilty. It is by his words that Tiresias is angered and prophesizes that A Character Sketch of Portia
Oedipus will turn out to be the murderer of his father and the husband of his mother. Further Oedipus provokes him A Character Sketch of Shylock
by making fun of his blindness and this leads Tiresias to predict that Oedipus will become blind and will leave Thebes

Hamlet as a Tragic Hero
Character And Fate Hamlet's Delay and
Procrastination
Greek tragedy is generally believed to be the tragedy of fate, in contrast with Shakespearean tragedy which Hamlet's Madness
is regarded as tragedy of character. Whether or not it is true of other Greek tragedies, it is inapplicable to Oedipus
Rex. At the most we can say that both character and fate play a part in the tragedy of Oedipus. Oedipus is certainly Supernatural Elements in
the victim of adverse chances, like his encounter with passenger whom he killed not knowing that he was his father. 'Hamlet'
But his own character can not be put aside in the context. It is because of his character as a great discoverer of truth Christopher Marlowe as a

Chorus in 'Doctor Faustus'
In the scene where he is cross-examining the shepherds, Jocasta begs him not to carry investigation further
but he pays no heed to her words. The Theban shepherd also begs that he may not be asked to disclose what he Concept of Hell in 'Doctor

It can be said that the tragedy of Oedipus is the result more of his good qualities than his bad ones. To
Renaissance Elements in
Oedipus the discovery of truth is more important than his own good and safety. He decides to carry on investigation 'Doctor Faustus'
knowing that it will not produce any result which will be safe for him. He is so honest with himself that he inflicts the
punishment of self blinding when he learns that he has committed horrible crimes against his parents. He even Theme of 'Doctor Faustus'
insists on Creon to banish him from the city as demanded by the Oracle. Theme of Appearance &
Reality in 'Oedipus Rex'
Pity And Fear Oedipus Rex as a Tragic Hero
There is, of course, a great sense of pity and fear for Oedipus who has in vain been searching for his parents. April (13)
All this while he has tried to avoid doing wrong to them by leaving Corinth and who yet finds that he has
March (7)
unconsciously become guilty of the gravest offences against both his parents.

Along with pity there is also the feeling of great terror. Suffering of Jocasta and Oedipus seems to us largely
undeserving. This mystery of undeserved sufferings does inspire a sense of terror in us.
