Tragic hero versus tragic figure

The tragic hero, according to the prescriptive Aristotle's Poetics, is an honourable character. A tragic hero is often seen as a character who does not deserve the predicament that befalls him. He is a primus inter pares and filius dei but with a hubris. He is redeemable and worthy of emulation by his courageous walk to his own fate and ability to carry, with dignity, the consequences of his own misdeeds. The character possesses high quality of leadership and is usually of royal or noble birth. The tragic figure, on the other hand, is irredeemable. There's no heroic part of him. He dies absurdly. The tragic figure, unlike the tragic hero, does not undergo a distillation of spirit. He's irredeemable and intransigent. He doesn't posses the high quality of leadership and he is not worthy of emulation.
