And the human being who sets himself or herself up to live life only on their own terms, as the totally free expressions of their own wills, is going to come to a nasty end. However grand and imaginatively appealing the tragic stance might be, it is essentially an act of defiance against the gods (or whoever rules the cosmos) and will push the tragic hero to an act of inevitable self-destruction.
