@aideenspages: TRAGIC HEROES IN LITERATURE: what are they and why does it matter? These characters are powerful, passionate, and flawed… often their greatest strength becomes the thing that destroys them. In this video I recommend four pieces of literature that I think are great at illustrating a tragic hero. When we read these texts, we often know they won’t end well. Why do we read them? Part of this is catharsis, which I talk about in a recent video. I think another facet is the relatability of these characters. They are flawed, layered, and complex. Just like us! Tell me about a tragic hero that absolutely broke you 😭🤍🎭 #BookRecommendations #reading #englishclass #englishteacher #sadbooks
