A five page work comparing Sophocles' Oedipus, Homer's Odysseus, and Shakespeare's Macbeth as tragic heroes, and the works in which they serve as protagonist ("Oedipus Rex," the "Odyssey," and "Macbeth") as tragedies. The paper concludes that Odysseus is not a tragic hero at all, because his problems do not arise from a doomed conflict between external forces and his own tragic flaw; while that is, indeed, the case with both Oedipus and Macbeth. Bibliography lists three sources.
