Unfortunately ChaCha's search results did not reveal Atlanta as a tragic hero. However, the tragic hero is not an ordinary man, but a man with outstanding quality and greatness about him, but has a flaw that leads to his downfall. Some examples are Hamlet, Jay Gatsby, and Willy Loman. ChaCha!

A tragic hero is a literary character who makes an error of judgment or has a fatal flaw that, combined with fate and external forces, brings on a tragedy. An example of a tragic character would be Oedipus in Oedipus Rex by Sophocles. ChaCha Again!
