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.
