Okonkwo My name is Okonkwo a clan leader in Umuofia. I had a tough childhood due to my father Unoka, which has driven me to succeed. Due to my hard work in war i earned a high position in my clan, and I’m still able to support my three wives and their children. My character in this novel is superior, I get angry at times and I’m not afraid of violence, but yet i have unmanly emotions for Ikemefuna and Ezinma, and i will do anything to not end up like my father Unoka. Unoka and i don’t get along with each other. Unoka is lazy and could care less about wet I want in life.
I have been ashamed of my father since I was a little boy, because of what my clan thinks is coward ness. My emotions for Ikemefuna and Ezinma which are unmanly conflict with my manly emotions as a superior leader. My oldest son Nwoye i believe is very weak and lazy. I beat Nwoye on a daily basis hop in it will turn him into a man.
Nwoye begins to develop into being more masculine influenced by Ikemefuna which pleases me. I believe Nwoye has the same weakness that my father Unoka possessed. My problem is that I am afraid of looking like my weak father Unoka. Due to his behavior it forces me to act like a fool and bring a whole lot of trouble upon myself and the rest of the popple in my family. I was not able to change when I went to go live with the Umuofians and could not adapt to their living style.
So i realized that i have become a bad person and not able change with society. I beleive I will have to change due to the changing in society and the diverse cultures there are. Not everyone can go about the same rules and religious beliefs, not everyone be lives in the same gods. I think if i change my bad intentions and cope with being good and allow my family to be who they want to be I will get along better and i will be liked more. By doing this I’m taking away violence towards my oldest son Nwoye and I’m excepting him for who he is not who I want him to be.
