Why is the protagonist of western tragedy full of lust and more real?

Generally speaking, the situation reflected in literary works is also a reflection of the real society, so the life of the protagonists in some western classic tragedies will make people feel very real and full of emotions.

The protagonists of western tragedies all have certain social roles and identities. From them, we can see the living conditions of different social classes, and the identities of western tragic protagonists in different periods are also different. For example, the identities of western tragic protagonists in ancient Rome were generally upper-class aristocrats. In the stage of capitalist development, the leading role of western tragedy has changed from the upper aristocracy to the middle class and the poor at the bottom.

For example, the French writer Hugo, the protagonist Jean Valjean in his masterpiece Les Miserables, is a very representative living condition of the lower class. However, after 19 years in prison, Jean became a rich businessman and changed his social identity and name. However, the tragedy has not been lifted from him. At the same time, Jean Valjean, a tragic character, is full of emotions.

Jean Valjean's most admirable emotion is to repay evil with good. For a policeman who regards himself as a deadly enemy, he can spare his greatest enemy at a critical moment, and also show readers the humanity behind this tragic role. No matter how unfair the times are to him, he still chooses to repay evil with good.

The portrayal of western tragic characters is very real, which makes people deeply see the situation of that era through the characters and gives people an immersive feeling. The protagonists of the tragedy are full of lust and more real.
