And he melts completely when he thinks of Zeena abandoned and destitute. He takes care of both his mother and father until they die, postponing his own education. Ethan can't stand to see any living creature in pain. So if Ethan is a tragic hero, what is extraordinary about him? Does he have a tragic flaw? Does he make mistakes? Though Ethan has many extraordinary qualities (for example, we know he's physically very strong and also quite intelligent), his kind and loving nature stands out. Sometimes he just makes a mistake, or series of mistakes, but they are usually somehow connected to one or more of his talents. Sometimes the hero doesn't really have a tragic flaw. The hero also has a tragic flaw, which is most often inextricably linked to one or more of the extraordinary talents, abilities or qualities. (Think about Ethan while you read.) The tragic hero is usually gifted with one or more extraordinary talents, abilities, or qualities. Tragic heroes often fit a certain kind of mold. Actually the hero usually causes his or her own downfall. They just give us a really fascinating hero or heroine to whom we can relate, and then take away everything he or she loves.
How do writers of tragedy capture our attention and emotions? That's easy. Ethan the Tragic HeroĪs writers through the ages, from Sophocles to Shakespeare to Edith Wharton, have known, everybody likes a good tragedy from time to time. We will also look at him in terms of the transformations he undergoes throughout the novella. It doesn't sound like such a great situation, does it? We did say tragic hero, didn't we? But tragic hero isn't the only way to look at Ethan. He lives with two women, his wife and his wife's cousin, with whom he was (and maybe still is) in love. Ethan is our tragic hero, a man of many faces.
