Question

They suffered physical trauma.
They ignored or were unaware of their heartbreaking personality trait.
They have daily or weekly therapy for their heartbreaking personality trait.
They live the rest of their lives in shame due to their heartbreaking personality trait

Answer 1

The characteristic that is most indicative of a tragic hero is:

They ignored or were unaware of their heartbreaking personality trait.

Tragic heroes typically possess a tragic flaw (hamartia) that leads to their downfall, and often they are unaware of this flaw or do not recognize its full implications. This element of ignorance or denial contributes to their tragic fate. The other options do not align with the traditional definition of a tragic hero.
