In “Poetics,” Aristotle states that the audience inevitably develops an emotional attachment with the tragic hero, fears his unavoidable fate, and eventually comes to pity the suffering hero. This is undoubtedly true, however, the audience too often dwells on the hero’s suffering itself and fails to realize what the hero has gained from his suffering. While the suffering a hero endures what may be unconquerable, many times the hero reaps benefits because of his suffering. Okwonko is such an unconquerable character that his death comes as a shocking surprise. However, Okwonko’s death can be traced back to his fear of failure. Okwonko’s fear of failure produces much of his suffering. His fear of failure and hatred for his father causes his personality to be dominated by anger, violence, and recklessness. Okwonko’s suffering lies in the fact that he is never satisfied and can never show emotion. Instead, he lashes out with violence, hoping to mask any effeminate qualities. This in turn leads to instances of suffering such as his murdering of Ikemefuna and his own death since he tries to survive by violence instead of simply conforming like the rest of his tribe. Nevertheless, there is no doubt to the fact that Okwonko’s fear of becoming a failure like his father results in temporal riches. Okwonko’s fear of failure has created an unparallel sense of motivation and dedication, which has launched him at the top of his clan and has gained him the respect of practically the entire town.
