tragic hero ever created, it is ironic that his
tragic flaw has never been as solidly confirmed as
those of most of his fellow protagonists. There is
Macbeth with his ambition, Oedipus with his pride,
Othello with his jealousy, and all the others with
their particular odd spots. Then there is Hamlet.

and neither seems to stick. Flaws are carved out
of obscure conversations when he may or may not be
