This one's really interesting, and we haven't looked at it before. Let's try it. Follow #FlawedHeroes to collect them all!
1. The original prompt was about the hero's descent into villainy. I'm not sure a hero ever really becomes a villain as such, because those roles are so clearly defined and in opposition to each other, but the Hero's Descent is certainly a Thing. #FlawedHeroes
2. We see its origins in Classical tragedy, and beyond. A character who is basically good and noble is destroyed by their One Fatal Flaw. As readers we relate to this very well, because no-one believes or is interested in a perfect protagonist. #FlawedHeroes
