Based on what your group came up with yesterday, respond to the following question: Is Okonkwo a tragic hero? Why/Why not? Make sure you can explain your answer!
I believe that Okonkwo is a tragic hero to be a tragic hero, you need to have power, which he had with all the titles, have flaws, which he also had because he didn't always do everything completely correctly, destined for "fall", which what happened because he killed someone and got kicked out of the clan, and more. Okonkwo's downfall was when he killed the 16 year old boy and everything in his life that he was going for was gone with his life choices and shooting the gun and accidentally kill a person.
