Philosophy: Oedipus and Aristotle

Through the concrete definition of Aristotle's tragic hero, I can conclude that Edeps is a tragic hero. King Oedipus was written by famous tragic playwright Sophocles. This story is considered one of the greatest tragedies ever. Indeed, Classical Weekly's Marjorie Barstow stated "It fulfilled the function of tragedy, causing terror and compassion to the utmost," Barstow. It was not known at the time whether they had any relationships, but this is also very controversial due to the relationship between Oedipus and his mother.

Heads: Eddys Freud. Because Aristotle analyzed his characteristics as a tragic hero, he accounted for a large part of the study of Edipus. According to Aristotle's tragic hero's statement, Edeps complies with the tragic hero's description. Before answering whether Oedipus' Oedipus of Oedipus is an accurate representation of a tragic hero it is necessary to define a tragic hero. The best starting point for defining it is Aristotle. First and foremost, the tragic hero is in a high position and is a very energetic person. They need to be somewhat important. (Aristotle, page 2) Then, this prosperity eventually resulted in greater degeneration and a hero's misfortune. Unfortunately, this is the cause of the "tragic" part due to lack of judgment about the heroic part. A lot of people respect the heroes, but this person is not perfect because of their state of power. The tragic hero seems to be more important than life until they finally fall

King Oedipus can be regarded as a typical hero of a classical tragedy. Aristotle, the first philosopher of the theoretical theater art, apparently studied the edeps, based on the quality of tragedy heroes, and used Edipus as an example. In Aristotle's concept, a tragic hero occupies a high position, lives in a prosperous environment, and is an outstanding person unhappy for misjudgment. Aristotle used the word "Hamachia" to mean the tragic weakness of a hero. According to Aristotle's tragic view, the tragic hero will become a man of clear behaviorality, clever and powerful, but not perfection. A ruining party that collapsed or collapsed completely like a saint would be contrary to moral expectation and the audience would think that this declining design is not so chaotic and irrational. Edipsus is neither a saint nor a hooligan. Despite his quality, he still fell for his mistake.
