A Tragic Project

       The tragic hero is very interesting because it bring out such a sad and angry emotion. One knows that the hero should not do this and it saddens and makes one mad when he does. Like in I am Legend,  it would be annoying to watch this hero make so many mistakes and underestimate the zombies so many times. Also, In Oedipus Rex, One fells annoyed when Oedipus states things that are very ironic. This is because the audience knows what this character has done. Everyone has a tragic flaw but not all of them go to far to the point of no return. Once in a life time a person will feel pride and continue till he loses many things.

      There are probably a lot of real world examples of tragic heroes today. Some people that are not really hero are dictators and corrupted leaders. These people have everything they could ask for but are so powerful they want more power even though they are living well. The tragic hero is very interesting because it is a very human trait. Humans are almost never satisfied. With many people wanting more and more stuff most people cant be happy with what they have. Of course there are people who are very happy with what they have but a lot of people go to far.
