in a classical tragedy the hero fights against whom?
Answers
Answer:
By classical tragedy it is meant Ancient Greek tragedies.
A tragic hero is one who knows very little about his circumstances. In the first act, the hero, who is usually of a high position and in a position to take a decision (a king, a saint, a general), is informed about something gone wrong, something amiss in his circumstances. He is therefore, compelled to decide on a course of action.
A play that ends in a catastrophe is a tragedy. The hero fights a spiral fall. He thinks he is doing right but still the outcome is disastrous.

Explanation:
By classical tragedy we tend to mean Ancient Greek tragedies.
A tragic hero is one who knows very little about his circumstances. In the first act, the hero, who is usually of a high position and in a position to take a decision (a king, a saint, a general), is informed about something gone wrong, something amiss in his circumstances. He is therefore, compelled to decide on a course of action.
A play that ends in a catastrophe is a tragedy. So when you ask, what does the hero fight, I think your question is better expressed as what does the hero face. The hero faces a spiral fall. He thinks he is doing right but still the outcome is disastrous
