Hello everyone,

Does anyone know what the seven requirements are for the Aristotelean concept of a tragic hero?

http://www.highwired.net/Classroom/Project/0,2069,29719-58883,00.html I think this website gives a list of the seven characteristics of a tragic hero according to Aristotle...

I don't know but I will venture a guess.

1) Gods have to be parents (or just one)
2) athletically muscular
3) male
4) speak in rhetoric
5) Must be blinded by something
6) Painfully inept knowledge of siblings or parents
7) Must battle fate fruitlessly

I finnaly found them, the website was usefull but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for.

1. Noble Birth and character
2. Tragic flaw
3. Rising of fortune
4. Awareness of flaw
5. Reversal of fortune
6. Suffering
7. Ultimate distruction
