Answer 1

Aristotle while explaining the attributes of the main character of a tragedy he explained that the character must be somewhere in between the extremes. The quotation from the text that best summarizes the  characteristics that a main character in a tragedy  should possess is;

• B "A man who is not eminently good and just, yet  whose misfortune is brought about not by vice or  depravity, but by some error of judgement or frailty."

Aristotle explained that the main character in a tragedy should not be a bad person suffering for some wrong he did.
