A tragic hero is a character in a literary work who is admirable and noble but ultimately experiences a downfall due to a tragic flaw or mistake. This flaw leads to their own destruction and often brings suffering to those around them. Despite their best intentions and noble qualities, the tragic hero is unable to escape their fate, which is usually death or some other tragic outcome. Examples of tragic heroes in literature include Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" and Hamlet in Shakespeare's play of the same name.
