Respuesta :

Hi there,


the answer to your question is a: hamartia. The word if cut down means pride and a discovery the character makes about himself. For example, if a hero is too narcissistic, there are some cons in it which could lead to the hero's downfall.

Hope this helped :)

Answer:

A. hamartia

Explanation:

Hamartia is the name given to a situation where a protagonist's "tragic flaw" brings about his downfall. Most of the time, people are a mix of bad and good qualities. This is the case with characters too. Some characters tend to have a single flaw that is particularly dominant and that causes them to fail in their pursuits. A common example is that of Hamlet, whose indicisiveness leads him to tragedy.
