Tragische helden zijn te zien in televisie, film en literatuur. Het is van cruciaal belang om dit archetype te definiëren en te begrijpen hoe ze een plot beïnvloeden. Door storyboards te gebruiken, creëren studenten een interactieve manier om het concept te internaliseren en een raamwerk te bouwen om de tragische helden in de literatuur te herkennen.
