Who is a good example of a literary tragic hero?

King Arthur could be also considered a tragic hero. Hercules as well. Heathcliff is an anti, or maybe Byronic hero,

Dorian Gray isn't really a hero, and I think you'd struggle to say Heathcliff was a hero, either. Anti-hero, maybe, but not a genuine hero.

Hamlet is the quintessential tragic hero, so he might be a good one to choose? Othello, as you suggested, would also be good.

Othello is a great example of a tragic hero. You could also use Hamlet as well. Dorian Gray seems to be more of an antihero, being that he is the protagonist, but he doesn't portray heroic qualities.

At six A. M off is going the alarm The sleeper wakes in alarm. the guy rolls over giving the clock a one eyed stare. Momentarily obtrusive as though he would dare. He slaps it off and throws back the canopy as he rolls off the mattress. His eyelids hover jointly as he sways and rocks “rattling,” he laments. “Seven o’clock is basically too rattling early to artwork.” In mattress he needs to lurk. He sneers on the clock as he reaches for his sock He gets slowly to his ft, accepting his defeat He had to get shifting or he’d be previous due. He had to be there previously 8. Thirty minutes to get waiting, and to eat. He handed up breakfast, grabbed his case, shifting to the vehicle he hits the line. A twenty minute force to his place of artwork. scuffling with to maintain from going berserk. “Why?” he laments, “Do I would desire to come to artwork so early? the clientele don’t start up until eventually 9 or ten. Why no longer then?” He works until eventually ruin, Grabs a donut and a chilly drink, his thirst to slake finally it replaced into time for lunch. He ate too plenty. The afternoon replaced into tough. At 5 he had adequate. hence it went day by day with no longer something to look for different than decay Oh, there replaced into an occasional trip. Retirement, a much off destiny prevarication. year after year purely to be downsized. put in seek of latest occupation that throughout no way materialized.. “What to do?” is his lament. Dire replaced into his portent as he recognized his dim destiny while his heart suffered a rupture. Now all that keeps to be is placed him right into a vault of cement and supply him his final lament. the fashionable working guy is particularly plenty the tragic hero.

Oedipus and Hamlet would be better. More of a familial thing with both of them, bring out the family aspect.

Oedipus ignorance about who he was made him kill his father and marry his mother,

Hamlet's ignorance made him kill Polonius

Oedipus' Mom/Wife kills herself

Hamlet's girlfriend kills herself

Death, blood, ugh.

Or even Odysseus

Because he has it all, loses it all, then gains it all back
