According to Aristotle, the tragic flaw, or "hamartia," is a character trait in a tragic hero that leads to their downfall. This flaw is often hubris, or excessive pride, which causes the hero to ignore warnings or make fatal mistakes. Aristotle believed that the audience should feel pity and fear for the hero as they suffer the consequences of their flaw.
In his "Poetics," Aristotle explains that a tragic hero is going to evoke in the viewer (or spectator) either great pity or great fear, due to the tragic circumstances in which the hero is involved. Such heroes will occupy noble or otherwise prominent positions in life or society and, most importantly, will contribute to their own downfall through a personal flaw of some kind. For example, the tragic hero, Oedipus, had the tragic flaw of pride (perhaps also a severe temper).
