Democracy vs monarchy
Justice
What a noble hero should carry out
Only for their own city
See it as right
Pentheus "
Oedipus "I curse myself"
Tragic heroes are monarchy
Supposed to be figures of awe
Contrasts to hamartia and peripeteia
Contrast to Homeric heroes (who upheld monarchy)
Euripides usually demonstrates a 2D barbaric tyrannos
Menelaus in Andromache
Lycus from Heracles
Pentheus from Bacchae
have a thing against exotic things
Pentheus sees Dionysus as a "foreigner"
Out of their realm, afraid, closed minded
"Habrosyne" (negative connotations)
Tragedies can involve the innocent
Oedipus could be argues as a victim of fate since birth
Jocasta isn't innocent with how she supported the exposition of Oedipus
Oedipus and dual determination
Is a good leader in caring for his country and family
But is morally corrupt with sleeping with his mother and killing his father
tragedians structure their plots around natural and divine laws
Is nowhere near like our democracy
