Oh, probably not. She isn't the main character. She has no flaws (unless you count unshakeable fidelity as a flaw), and does not have a moment where she realizes that she has done wrong. Basically, she is not like Oedipus. According to Aristotle, only Oedipus or someone exactly like him can be a tragic hero, and only Oedipus Rex or a play exactly like it can be a tragedy.

What an idiot.
