Definition of Tragic Flaw. In literature, the tragic flaw is a character trait that brings about the downfall of the protagonist; ironically, in some works, this flaw is the character's greatest strength taken to an extreme. The tragic flaw may be a lack of judgment or self-knowledge, but most often it is pride or hubris. Regardless of intention, worthiness, station in life, or the character's best efforts, the tragic flaw will bring about the destruction of the character.
Canada was discovered in the year 1534, by Jacques Cartier (or Quartier), a mariner belonging to the small French seaport St. Malo. He was a man in whom were combined the qualities of prudence, industry, skill, perseverance, courage, and a deep sense of religion.
The Micmac gave peace signs, but Cartier ordered two warning shots which made the Micmac sail away. On his third encounter at Baie de Gaspe, Cartier set a cross with the words âLong Live the King of France.â He controlled the place and the Iroquoians knew that the possession was under the name of King Francis I.
