Villain or Hero? Marcus Junius Brutus‚ the biggest backstabber of them all. Brutus is a roman politician and is portrayed in Shakespeare’s play: “Julius Caesar”. While many may say that he is a hero‚ he is in no doubt a villain‚ some may even describe his as a “selfless” villain.

Brutus was the best friend to Caesar and one

The genuine tragic hero is Creon‚ as his power‚ actions‚ and flaws are what set the tragedy into a downward position. What Antigone lacks is remorse for her actions. A huge part of being a tragic hero is knowing the wrong-doing and showing remorse for the act weather it be criminal or on an immoral level. Creon is a king‚ a very wealthy and powerful human‚ but he still is a human with flaws nonetheless. His people follow him loyally; this loyalty is shown when they follow his order about Polyneices’

I believe that Macbeth is a tragic hero in the story of Macbeth. Aristotle’s definition of a tragic hero is “The tragic hero is a man of noble stature or high position. He is not an ordinary man‚ but a man with outstanding quality and greatness about him. His own destruction is for a greater cause or principle.” I view that as a person that does something bad with good intentions. Macbeth didn't hate king Duncan. He was family and gave him a promotion. The king was at his house to celebrate

What is a villain? By definition it is “the person or thing responsible for specified trouble‚ harm‚ or damage” or an antagonist who seems fit to be a terrible‚ evil‚ unjust person but to me villains are not that. Villains are people who are unfairly looked upon as villains such as those with tattoos‚ graffiti artists‚ hacktivists‚ or even urban climbers. These people are all labeled as villains because they do something out of the norm to make themselves happy or perhaps others when what they do
