    In any tragedy, the tragic hero is a righteous character who is destined for downfall, suffering, or defeat. Three main theories of the tragic hero are the Aristotelian model, the Shakespearean model, and the modern tragic hero. Each model has five defining characteristics, which are nobility, hamartia, downfall, anagnorisis, and suffering. In the Shakespearean mode of tragedy, the play Romeo and Juliet best models the tragic hero. For instance, nobility is characterized by being upper class and having elevated character. Romeo satisfies both these criteria through his position as an heir of the Montagues who are revealed as a high respected family in the prologue of the play.

    The amazing person I've chosen to be my hero is David Suzki. Heroes can come in all shapes and sizes but, what truly does make a hero? It's an easy, but difficult question to answer.

I do not doubt my decision one bit either, David is amazing. There's 3 large reasons why I've chosen him to be my hero!: He's been an amazing role model, has helped a myriad of animals and last of…
