Yep. Plenty of times it occurs in fiction that children follow in their parents' footsteps, and succeed where their elders fail. This is often the whole narrative point of having parents who failed in the first place. If the child's trajectory mirrors the parent's completely, then it is poetical tragedy, which given the fundamentally established core of idealism in the show from its outset, seems unlikely.

And I was indeed interpreting it as referring to the absolute end of the show, as 'twould be somewhat irregular (though not unheard-of) for the principal character to die prior to the denouement, unless we speak of a season after all conflicts end. If 'twere the other case, then it is quite possible, though I dismiss the case on the grounds of improbability, per above.
