The realization that one is on a collision course with disaster is the meaning of 'tragic awareness'. It's knowing that one is headed towards a tragedy that can't be avoided along a certain path of action. For example, Antigone in the play of the same name decides upon a certain course of action. She knows that she risks her life by so doing. But she also knows that she can act in no other way. She therefore knows that she is foredooming her own tragedy by her very own choice of action.

Why is Creon the tragic hero in 'Antigone'?
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.
