Tragic Hero Characteristics:
Creon/Antigone: Describe the following traits for each. You will need a full sheet of paper -- one side for each character.
Arete: How is he elevated to great status?
Hubris: How does he demonstrate arrogance and place himself above the law of the gods?
Hamartia: What ordinarily valuable trait does he show that is tragically unsuited?
Ate: How does he show reckless decision making and blindness to his surroundings/advisors?
For each of these traits,
a. Make a general claim / characterization in your own words
b. Provide specific, quoted text to support this characterization
c. Explain how the evidence you selected supports the characterizations you made.
