Answer:
A) An identifiable hero must suffer the consequences of his or her own choices.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given excerpt from Introduction to Oedipus the King, Sophocles wrote about how the success of the drama or any text is dependent on many elements of the story. While the plot is an important part of the drama, the consequences and understanding of the characters is also an important factor in the whole success of the story.
Likewise, the actions of the hero and how he reacts to any of those is also an important factor that makes the audience feel connected to the plot and the drama as a whole. On that note, the author seems likely to agree that an identifiable hero must be capable of suffering the consequences of his/her own decisions, whatever the outcome may be.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
