[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. As the protagonist of Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart," Okonkwo ultimately ends up as the tragic hero as a direct result of his inability to alter the course of his life. Defining this particular concept calls for one's close interpretation of what the protagonist's role truly represents; with that, it becomes quite simple to understand how the lead character can so easily slip into the tragic state he eventually inhabits.
