YMMV / Poetics

• Common Knowledge: Though this text is the origin of many important literary concepts, it did not, as many claim, invent the concept of the Tragic Hero or the Fatal Flaw. The concept of the "hero" isn't really part of Aristotle's terminology concerning character, and his concept of "hamartia" (a mistake or misjudgement that leads a character to misfortune), is not the same thing as a Fatal Flaw.
