ABSTRACT

The Tragic Hero mis a special protagonist that has been a powerful teaching tool for writers. This is clear because such characters demand more emotions from their audience. Their miserable circumstances always leave the audience vulnerable for the message to be passed on. A clear example is Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The epinomous hero mis forced to question his ideologies regarding life, values and family. This is due to the apparition of his late father who visits him in order to ask young Hamlet to avenge his death. The weight of such a task forces the character in to a constant phase of psychological trauma. Such a situation will force the audience to have pity on our tragic protagonist. Pity mis the tragedians trummp card. it is the emotion that is paramount to any tragedy. Using a comparative Analysis of the modern tragic hero and the Aristotelian Tragic hero, I have been able to outline the changes to the character’s concept over time. This work clearly shows that there is a clear change in the traits required for the Aristotelian Tragic Hero as compared to its modern counter parts. Charles Foster Kane in Orson Welle’s Citizen Kane gives a voice to depressed children psychological traumas that they face growing up. This indicates that the common man is subject for study. This is different from Oedipus in Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex whose journey is mainly focused the influence of the super natural in the affairs of the high standing members of society. The research paper aims to address these differences in order to explain the evolution of the tragic hero.
