Hey everyone,
I have a recent essay to do on Julius Caesar. The prompt is who is the tragic hero. I was chosen to go with Caesar. I have to use 3 points in the essay to defend why he is the tragic hero
so far i have:
-his tragic flaw: arrogance
-his nobility
The third point must talk about "death with dignity" basically how his death proves how he is a tragic hero. I dont understand what lines i can use and what i can use as the argument... help!

The very fact of his untimely death is what makes him a tragic hero instead of a comic hero. Beyond that, you might want to look at the reluctance the conspirators have in plotting Caesar's death. How do they feel about him as a friend and as a person as opposed to what they see as his "grab" for power?
