The Tragic Hero of AntigoneIn Sophocles' Antigone, the question of who the tragic hero really is has been a subject of debate for years. There are unlikely to be two tragic characters in a Greek tragedy, and there can be only one in the play Antigone. King Creon possesses some of the qualities that constitute a tragic character, but he does not possess all the necessary traits. Antigone, on the other hand, contains all the aspects she needs to be the main character. According to Aristotle's Poetics, there are four main traits required of the tragic character. The character must be a good and honest person. The character must focus on becoming a better person, must be believable and must be consistent in his behavior. Since Antigone represents these four character threads, as well as many other traits of the protagonist, she can definitely be called the tragic hero. In order for Antigone to be a tragic character, she must first be a good and honest person. Antigone is truly a kind-hearted person and has not committed any crime until her decision to give her brother Polynieces a proper burial. There is no doubt that Antigone is an honest and important person in Thebes. She was to marry Haemon, son of Creon, and was considered a princess. Aristotle stated that the appearance of a good person was the first and most important when creating a tragic character. The fact that Antigone is a woman makes no difference, because Aristotle specifically said: "A woman can also be good. Although the woman can be said to be a good person." be inferior." Aristotle's second rule for determining a tragic character is that the person must aim for correctness. The character must work to become a better person. Antigone illustrates this second guideline with her effort to free her conscience and honor her family by giving Polinieces a proper burial. By taking on this responsibility and denying Ismene's involvement in her crime, Antigone demonstrates that she has acquired greater courage within herself than she had before. Creon does not in any way conform to the second line Aristotle's guide. Throughout the play, he does not allow himself to see the point of view of others, as when Haemon tries to reason with him, and he neglects the blind prophet, Tiresias, when he warns Creon of his actions tragic are intertwined. According to Aristotle, the character must be true to life and be consistent
