Romeo And Juliet Tragic Hero
1,425 words
What makes a tragic hero? In all of Shakespeare's
tragedies, the hero must suffer and in some if not
most cases, die. What makes a tragic hero? One has

officer of some high rank. It was common practice
for Shakespeare to tell of his tragic hero through
the voices of others around his hero. This way we

flaws. Usually the heros own actions and
obsessions bring him to his tragic end. (Bradley
