Critic Northrop Frye claims that tragic heroes “seem the inevitable conductors of the power about them… Conductors may of course be instruments as well as victims of the divisive lightning.” A perfect example of this assertion would be King Oedipus in the classical tragic play “Oedipus Rex,” written by Sophocles, where Oedipus, himself, becomes the victim of his doomed fate.

Anagnorisis and perepeteia are two stages of events that the ideal tragic hero must go through according to Aristotle. Anagnorisis means "recognition" which Oedipus goes through when the messenger reveals Oedipus' true birth, he discovers that he is wed to his mother and slain his father just like the prophecy foretold. He has come to the startling realization that nothing he knew was true, he has committed grave sins, and has moved from ignorance to knowledge in who he truly is.
