He did become weaker as the book progressed but isn't that the case in most humans? We start strong with a clear vision of the finish line, only to slowly lose strength and sight of the end goal due to challenges encountered along the way.

True. But literature is often a reflection of society. So I wonder, if in the real world, many individuals do not show this character development we hope for, then doesn't it give a book a realistic effect if a protagonist falls short of that expectation?
