A tragedy is the form of play in which the main character dies as a tragic hero. A tragedy always includes death and destruction in its content. Heroes are tragic, because they die or are destroyed. They all have fatal flaws that contribute to their deaths or destruction.
the main character is Will Smith but plays as Robert Neville in the movie.
someone who is neither entirely bad nor entirely evil, with whom the audience can identify, and for whom the audience can have sympathy.
First thing to consider it that the title alone tells us the play will be a tragedy. Everyone dies at the play, yet we know that the Rome survives. Brutus must choose between his long time friend and the good of his beloved Rome. Shakespeare places the hero in a no win situation, it can only end in violence for Brutus.
the main character and the antagonist is Esther.
In Greek tragedy, hamartia refers to the protagonist's biggest flaw. It is the one sin or error that is in the main character or hero's personality that leads to their own downfall.

Yes he is a tragic hero. His pride is his major flaw. A tragic hero is the main character in a tragedy who makes an error in his or her actions that leads to his or her downfall. This is what Willy is...
The hero or main charcter dies or doesn't get what he wants in the end.
the main character is Will Smith but plays as Robert Neville in the movie.
A tragic ending where the main character dies is not likely to happen in a comedy, as comedies typically aim to entertain and provide humor rather than explore tragic or heavy themes.
No, Jocasta is not a tragic hero, but she is a tragic character in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a hero is the main character, the holder of great powers, and the doer of great deeds. The tragic hero comes to an unfortunate end, usually through a character flaw or a flawed personality. Jocasta cannot be described as the main character, the holder of great powers or the doer of great deeds. But she can be described as tragic character whose life takes an unfortunate turn and ends most miserably.
Creon is not the tragic hero in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a hero is the main character, the holder of great powers, and the doer of great deeds. That hero is tragic when his life takes an unfortunate turn. The description of the hero does not fit Theban King Creon, who is capable of no great deed or power. But the description of tragic does fit Creon, as a tragic figure in a tragic play about the tragedy of the tragic heroine Antigone.
No, Antigone is not a tragic hero in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.). Specifically, the term hero describes the main character who does great deeds or holds great power. That hero does not stay at the top of his game once the unfortunate consequences of his flawed act or character begin to be felt. The two descriptions fit Theban Princess Antigone only in the sense that her life tragically takes an unfortunate turn. But Antigone is a tragic character, not the tragic hero.
Creon does not prove himself to be the tragic hero in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a hero is the main character who does great deeds and holds great powers. He is tragic when his life ends unfortunately or takes an unfortunate turn. Theban King Creon lacks great powers and does no great deeds. But his life turns tragic because of his flawed character and his own misdeeds.
Because of the way the term "tragic hero" has been treated by AC Bradley and those who followed him, it has almost become a term of art, with an arcane meaning quite divorced from the actual way that Shakespeare's tragedies work. But really a tragic hero is the main character in a play which ends with the destruction of that main character, which usually means his death. If the play is well-written, we feel a sense of regret and sadness that someone for whom we had some sympathy has come to a sticky end. This is certainly the case with Othello.
That she does great deeds, has great powers, is the main character and meets with an unfortunate end are the reasons why Antigone fits the profile of a tragic hero in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a hero is the main character, has great powers and does great deeds. The hero is tragic when life takes an unfortunate turn. Antigone meets the first characterization in that she is heroic as the main character, the owner of great powers of divine loyalty and royal defiance, the doer of the great deed of burying her brother Polyneices. She meets the second characterization in that she is tragic in meeting with the unfortunate end of being buried alive for her great deeds and great powers.
