In chapter one of this research paper, I will deal with the main characteristics of tragic hero as explained by Aristotle in his book Poetics that makes Lily Bart as a female tragic hero. The three main characteristics: firstly, her hamartia or tragic flaws which make her downfall at theend of the novel. Secondly, Lily Bart's recognition that she is unable to achieve her dreams.Thirdly, Lily Bart's reversals in her life. In addition, chapter two will discuss Lily Bart's inherited tragic fate and the use of Edith Charles Darwin's theory in building the fate of her character Miss Lily. It also will highlight the term of coincidence in Lily Bart's meetings with men because this coincidence also leads Miss Lily Bart to her downfall. Finally, the last chapter of this research paper will be about Miss LilyBart's unfulfilled dreams. All of these chapters show how Miss Lily Bart is a truly female tragic hero.
