Best Answer

An example of a tragic flaw would be Oedipus' lack of knowledge about his adoption. Not knowing who his real parents were led him to unknowingly murder his father and marry his mother.

Another example is Othello, whose flaw was his jealousy. It lead him to murder his wife, thinking she had been unfaithful.

a famous tragic flaw is achille's heel. he was from ancient greek history. he was born a hero that was invinsible, except for his ankle. so one day when he was in battle, someone shot him on the ankle with an arrow. he died later on, but the point is, his ankle was the downfall of him. he would have been the greatest hero of all times, if he hadnt had that weakness.
