Does Creon believe that an effective tragic hero must have elements of evil and good?
Theban King Creon doesn't talk about tragic heroes be they effective or ineffective. He instead sees himself as the only hero in a world defined by obedience or disobedience to his will. The Theban who obeys is good, but still no more than a subject. The Theban who disobeys is evil and undeserving of balanced judgment, fair treatment or even fundamental acknowledgment as a fellow mortal let alone Theban.But that isn't the categorical, limited world view of Creon's creator, Socrates [496 B.C.E.-406 B.C.E.]. And yes, the ancient Greek playwright identifies the heroes and villains among his characters in different terms. Those who are heroic do great deeds or have great powers of strength. But his heroes meet unheroic ends because of fatal tragic flaws within their personalities. So Sophocles' heroes are glorious because of the good that they do and yet inglorious because of poor choices and decisions that bring evil into their lives and the lives of others.
