Can it be argued that Creon is not an Aristotelian tragic hero?
Yes, it can be argued that Theban King Creon isn't an Aristotelian tragic hero. According to Aristotle [384 B.C.E.* - 322 B.C.E.], the tragic hero is a good person who does great things. But he loses everything due to his own tragic flaw. He also realizes his role in foredooming his own tragedy. It's true that Creon loses everything through his tragic flaw of pride. But he isn't a good person, and doesn't do great things. Instead, he's a selfishperson who does villainous things. For example, he refuses to honor the god given rights of his own citizens. Likewise does he remain unmoved by the suffering of his entire city. Creon ends his heartless, ruthless rule only when he sees that bad thingswill happen to him and his family. So he reverses his position only when he and his family are to be included in the suffering. He doesn't reverse his position because of his own self-awareness and self-knowledge. *Before the Christian Era

In Shakespeare's play what is tragic flaw?
Tragic flaw is a concept derived from Aristotle's poetics which was extremely popular in the 19th century and still has currency among schoolteachers who use older textbooks. The idea is this: Tragedies have to have tragic heroes, main characters who have something bad happen to them. We have to sympathize with the tragic heroes, or otherwise we would conclude that they deserve what they get. But it is unfair to God to say that bad things happen to people because, well, they happen that way. We have to say that bad things happen to people because they have something wrong with them. This need to point a moralistic finger means that although we might think that the tragic hero is mostly good, there is something wrong with him. This "something wrong" is called a "tragic flaw". The need to find these permanent flaws in people's characters has driven students to distraction trying to find some quality in the hero they can deplore and say "There! That's why the bad things happened to him."
