Often in literature, a character’s tragic flaw leads to his or her downfall. Think about a literary character who displays a tragic flaw, such as pride, selfishness, greed, or envy. Consider how this tragic flaw leads to the character’s downfall and why it is important to the literary selection as a whole. Be sure to cite evidence from the literary selection when supporting your ideas (you need at least three pieces of cited text integrated into your essay).
Your essay should be at least 750 words.
