Comparing and Defining Tragic Heroes

Number of Pages 5

This 5 page paper compares three tragedies and their protagonists: Oedipus from Oedipus Rex, Macbeth from Macbeth and Odysseus from The Odyssey. The writer concludes that Macbeth and Oedipus are tragic heroes, but Odysseus is not, because his problems do not arise from a conflict between his tragic flaw and external forces, as is the case with the other two. There are 3 sources listed in the bibliography.
