The Gluttony in a Good Soul Okonkwo has seen what happens to men who cannot fend for themselves, his actions reflect that. However, having a troubled past is not an excuse for the actions of oneself. So when asking if Okonkwo is a good man or terribly flawed, we first must ask what makes a man terribly flawed? What makes a man good? Is it the way he treats his family? His morals and values? Everything in between? Okonkwo can be seen as both a good man and terribly flawed depending on the angle you observe it from. From one perspective, he is a good man because he is strong and hardworking. However, on the other hand, he is terribly flawed because he wears a shell to keep out emotion created by fear of his father.
