Dictionary dot com defines tragedy as , ‘a tragedy is a drama or literary work in which the main character is brought to ruin or suffers extreme sorrow.Especially as a consequence of a tragic flaw,moral weakness or inability to cope with unfavorable circumstances’.I do consider the story of Antigone to be a tragedy because the main character is brought to extreme sorrow due to a tragic flaw.The main characters in this story are Antigone and Creon but Creon is the one who is brought to extreme sorrow due to tragic flaws.I believe Creon is the tragic hero because he is the one character in the story with tragic flaws.Creon’s tragic flaws are being prideful,indecisive and confident.He actually is nervous but tries to cover it up by appearing and sounding confident at times but actually isn’t confident.It was obvious that Creon was nervous when dealing with Antigone and what to do,he was unsure of himself even though he wanted to kill Antigone and ends up doing so,Creon had a hard time with what to do with Antigone.He also is afraid of how to use his power because he was forced to be in a role of authority.Even though Creon appears as the ‘bad guy’ or the antagonist we still show sympathy for him.Antigone is a murderer and Creon should be upset.Creon lost everything that was really close to him.
