The Fellowship Of The Ring: Bromir As A Tragic Hero
Before our times, many countries clashed their armies on the battle fields. And whenever there is war, heroes appear.Tragically, heroes are not saints and nor are they invincible. Once rose, there is a time that they shall fall. Bromir demonstrates great dedication and sacrifice; as well as standing as a symbol of goodness and justice. His acts of courage and strength are however no match for his tragic flaw, which eventually lead to his downfall. In The Fellowship of the Ring, Bromir plays the role of the tragic hero. Bromir's greatest fear is his pride and recklessness that make him vulnerable to the Ring’s power which ends up being the cause of his tragic downfall. Boromir disliked the idea of destroying the One Ring, he believed that it could be used to defeat Sauron once and for all, to save Gondor, and return it to its former glory; he tried to convince Frodo to give him the ring. When Frodo refused, Boromir tried to take it by force, perhaps even threatening Frodo with death, but the hobbit put the One Ring on and f00000000led.Borormir was a tragic hero for the following reasons:

1.
He was born of noble birth. Let us all remember that his father was the Steward of Gondor. He was very noble.
2. He was responsible for his own fate because he willingly rushed towards a really evil guy (a.k.a. orc) with lots of arrows and ended up trying to save Merry and Pippin.
3. His tragic flaw was his greediness. He was very power hungry and wanted the ring for his own.
4. He was doomed to make an error in judgement when he didn't think that Frodo was worthy to carry the burden of the ring. He was very
doubtful.
5. He fell from a great height. Remember, after he died, Aragorn put him a canoe and pushed off the edge of a giant waterfall.
6. He realized his mistake when Frodo put on the ring and disappeared. Unfortunately, he couldn't fix his mistake.
7. He accepted his fate. He couldn't fix what he had done, so he decided to fight for the hobbits lives, even if he failed miserably.
8. His death was tragic.
Macbeth also fits the description of being a tragic hero, displaying his strengths, his weaknesses, his tragic flaw, and how influential outside influences are on him. Macbeth has a number of strengths that are evident throughout the entire play. At the beginning of the play, Macbeth seems quite noble. He fights in the battle against Norway, proving his honor. Ambition is another one of these strengths. There are three influents which contribute greatly to
Macbeth's degeneration one being the prophecy which was told to him by the witches, two being how Lady Macbeth influenced and manipulated Macbeth's judgment, and finally Macbeth's long time ambition which drove his desire to be king. Macbeth's growing character degenerates from a noble man to violent individual.
