Discuss to what extent the monster in Frankenstein is portrayed as a tragic hero? Aristotelian defined tragedy as "the imitation of an action that is serious and also‚ as having magnitude‚ complete in itself."

cannot have a successful story without a villain. A villain helps to create conflict and a plot between characters‚ this is what builds a successful story. In the play Othello by William Shakespeare‚ Iago makes the perfect villain.
