The first is that the main character (protagonist) must be of noble birth or a member of a royal family. In addition to being of noble lineage‚ the protagonist must suffer from a fatal or tragic flaw.

Not being able to comply with society’s expectations and acting rebellious are what negative traits these two possess‚ but show a softer side from their compassionate personality and actions. Although both Holden
