I think that Okonkwo is a tragic hero. Traits of a tragic hero would be hubris, a leader, has recognition, doomed from the start, and their destiny is found throughout their OWN actions. Okonkwo has most of these traits since he acts very hubris, he acts as a leader since he is the man of his household, and he is recognized as the best wrestler of the land. I am not sure at the moment what his destiny is since the story has not uncovered that much.
- High power/authority/hubris
- Downfall (caused by hero) - become a better person
- Returns as a hero (sometimes)
- Main
- Unlucky
- Fated to fail/be defeated
- Fatal flaw
- free will
- Lacking some heroic qualities
- Foreshadowed tragedy
- Ron Burgendy
- Snape
- Ender
- Harvey Dent
- Jay Gatsby
- Luke - Lightning Thief series
- Regina George
- Tiger Woods
- Lance Armstrong
- Michael Phelps & Ryan Lochete
- Odysseus
- Adrien Pieterson
- Miley Cyrus
- Anthony Weiner
- Robin Hood
