Dr Faustus can be considered a tragic hero for various reasons. Firstly, we can conclude that he is not completely bad or evil, he just makes a critical error and decides to sell his soul to the devil due to his thirst for knowledge. This makes us relate to him due to his imperfect nature and hunger for knowledge and consequently we pity him more. Secondly, he is of high standing and is a great scholar, which makes us question how these things can happen to such people and this makes his tragic destiny seem even more gloomy to us. When we look at Aristotle's definition of a tragic hero where he defines him as someone not 100% good or bad who makes us feel sorry for their miserable fate, the character of Faustus fits this definition perfectly. All in all, his human vices paired with his inquisitive nature are the main reasons why we are obliged to consider Dr Faustus a tragic hero.

One evening, me and my friend Jack were playing outside. We decided a friendly game of football would be fun. We were just tossing and throwing the ball to each other, like normal boys would do. 

All of a sudden, Jack started crying. I went up to him in desperation, as I noticed that he had broken his arm! He ran into the neighbor's car, and he hit his arm so hard on the side mirror, that it broke! We had to admit him into the hospital!

After a long time in the emergency room, Jack was free to go to his house. This had to be the scariest moment for me. I'm going to be taking a little break from football. I hope this never happens again...
