Watching the Supernatural Season 12 premiere episode, “Keep Calm and Carry On” where Sam endured both physical and mental torture, I found myself reflecting on some of the literature I read decades ago in high school and college. In examining the literary evidence against the framework of television execution, I would argue that Sam Winchester fulfills many characteristics of a tragic hero.
