George is a bright and creative young man enslaved by a cruel and petty master, Mr. Harris. George possesses talent and inventiveness. During his time working at a bagging factory, he creates a machine that simplifies the cleaning of hemp, changing the factory's operations significantly. Regrettably, his master envies George's skills and uses his intelligence as a pretext for punishment and humiliation. Within the narrative, George serves as an illustration of a gifted young individual who could thrive in a democratic society but is oppressed by slavery. His resentment and frustration regarding his situation, alongside his struggle with accepting Christianity, provide a stark contrast to Uncle Tom’s character. Contemporary readers might find George’s active resistance more relatable compared to Tom’s passive faith. The theme conveyed through George’s perspective on America involves a challenge to the institution of slavery.
In Things Fall Apart, the main character Okonkwo is also viewed as a tragic hero. A tragic hero holds a significant societal position, makes their own choices, has a tragic flaw, and understands the events leading to their downfall. Okonkwo's key flaw is his intense fear of being perceived as weak or a failure. I hope this is beneficial.
