Before I explain as to how I decided my right decision, I would like to explain what exactly makes a heroic protagonist since this is what I mostly based my evidence on. According to Aristotle’s qualities of tragic protagonists (2018), he states that “a character should evoke emotions in the audience, determine their fate by their consequences, has consistency, has peripeteia and anagnorisis, has a moral purpose, and is true to themselves and others.” My decision was quite difficult to determine as there were so many choices to make.
Sounds like a real tragedy! However, many critics argue that Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is merely tragic rather than a tragedy as defined by Aristotle. The play does not follow the Aristotelian model enough for it to be deemed a tragedy. Due to the many tragic flaws present in the characters, the moral clarification of the audience rather than the characters and the fact that the lovers’ ultimate demise is caused by fate, Romeo and Juliet is simply a tragic story rather than a tragedy. A tragedy blames a character’s tragic flaw for their doom, but, Romeo and Juliet have many flaws that contribute to their demise.
