5 pages in length. As the tragic hero and protagonist, Euripides' Electra is forced to come face to face with her own shortcomings, which ultimately cast upon her the tragic flaw that eventually leads to her downfall. In applying Aristotle's formula for tragedy to this play, facing
opposition from within her own being is part of the inner struggle that Electra addresses throughout her life, wavering back and forth as a means by which to establish her self-knowledge. The fate that governs her life also controls the actions associated with her troubled existence; being both brave and courtly, Electra is compelled to exemplify that of an upstanding social ambassador. However, as time progresses, she learns that she, too, possesses a significant flaw and ultimately succumbs to the burdens of emotion that fate had already provided for her. No additional sources cited.
