Aristotle describes a tragic hero as someone with good intentions, high class, and must suffer a fall from grace. Creon, the new King of Thebes, fits this bill quite nicely. While other tragic hero’s have suffered horrible fates, like Hamlet or Antigone, they did it with a selfish pursuit. Creon’s journey involved the country of Thebes scrutinizing all his actions; this influenced his actions and the tragedy he suffered. In literature history, Creon proves to be the most tragic character because he fulfills all the qualities Aristotle deems as a tragic hero while also trying to balance his powerful position.

In his “Poetics,” Aristotle originally identified a tragic hero as someone who possesses an arete, hamartia, peripety, and anagnorisis. An arete shows human excellence or nobility in a character. On the other hand, a hamartia reveals a character’s major flaw. The tragic hero also undergoes a change in fortune from good to bad known as a peripety. Through the peripety, the character realizes his hamartia. In the Greek playwright “Antigone” by Sophocles, Creon, the King of Thebes is a tragic hero because he possesses all four of these traits.

Oedipus is the quintessential Greek tragic hero; his story marks a tale of inevitable distress and sorrow. However, in Antigone, this was not the case and the tragic hero was not easily identifiable. A tragic hero is a character, usually of high birth, neither completely good nor evil, whose downfall is brought about by some weakness or error in judgement. In Sophocles' Greek tragedy, Creon is portrayed as a struggling king who must come to the reality that his actions are in favor against him. Stubbornness and excessive pride are the driving force behind Creon’s downfall as a tragic hero. He is reluctant to acknowledge the views of others, ignores familial values, and executes his rule as a king in a tyrannical manner.

There is an important need for the audience to identify with the Aristotelian hero through
