ELVIS
Elvis is a tragic hero because he is caring , he is loving and he is a role model who is also gorgeous and makes killer music. Every time I listen to his music , I can tell he loves and believes what he is saying. Although , like all tragic heroes he makes mistakes , his being taking to many drugs (supposedly). Unfortunately this took his own life.
