{wiki=Hamartia}
Hamartia is a term derived from Greek tragedy that refers to a tragic flaw or error in judgment that leads to the downfall of a tragic hero. The word itself translates to "missing the mark." In literature, particularly in the context of Aristotle's definition of tragedy, hamartia is often associated with a character's inherent weakness, which could be a character trait, a mistake, or a failure to understand their situation.
