World Studies 10/23/11 An Anti-Hero from the Start “The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid‚ but he who conquers that fear”- Nelson Mandela. Okonkwo never conquers his fear‚ but instead does things to hide it. This is illustrated at the end of the book when he takes the easy way out and kills himself.
