    The only way Okonkwo successfully defects though, is through having strength. As Things Fall Apart states a clansman told Unoka, Okonkwo's father, “You, Unoka, are known in all the clan for the weakness of your machete and your hoe. When your neighbors go out with their ax to cut down virgin forests, you sow your yams on exhausted farms that take no labor to clear” (Achebe, Things Fall). This quote in the book shows how uncaring and lazy Unoka typically is, in addition to showing a contrast between Unoka and Okonkwo. Throughout the book, the readers view Okonkwo as being diligent and strong, as shown through quotes, such as “and so at a very early age when he was striving desperately to build a barn through share-cropping Okonkwo was also fending for his father’s house”…

    One mistake Okonkwo makes is how in trying to be unlike his father, he becomes an angry, violent and aggressive man. This is one mistake that is definitely contributing to Okonkwo’s demise as it leads him to do irrational things and treat his family badly as well as treating himself badly even though he has achieved such wondrous things in his lifetime. Okonkwo’s also got many other failures of himself and one of those being how he has such excessive pride and is also such a traditional man that he is not able to accept what the missionaries have done to his village during his time away in “motherland” because he was banished from the village for 7 years. This was one of the big mistakes that Okonkwo made because he wasn 't able to accept how his village was being changed and he couldn 't do anything about it which was one of his past mistakes before he ended his life. One of Okonkwo’s first big mistakes in the book was how he partook in the killing of Ikemefuna after he was instructed to not by the higher ups in the spiritual respect of the tribe.…

    Okonkwo, the protagonist of Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, is the epitome of the self-made man. He starts from humble beginnings and turns himself into a successful farmer, wrestler, and warrior, propelled by a fear of seeming weak and womanish like his father, Unoko. At first, Okonkwo makes conscious behavioral choices as a reaction against Unoko, but over time, his desire for strength and masculinity becomes a subconscious personality trait and manifests itself in the way he reacts towards others. Eventually, Okonkwo’s impulsive actions bring about a great consequence, his suicide. This tragic end marks him as a victim of his own personal flaw, fear of effeminacy, which is the root cause of his personal transformation over the course…

In the tribe where Okonkwo and his family live, Umuofia, the amount of honor and respect depends on your strength.

    Title Cultures have a variety of customs, and Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe literates the customs of an African tribe well. Currently I am at the part where Okonkwo beat one of his wives during the Week of Peace because she was out getting her hair plaited. The actual violence did not surprise me awfully because females have been oppressed for centuries through a multitude of ways from systemic tyranny to violence. What struck me as fascinating is the fact that a man’s success is determined by the number of wives he has, and not solely on the amount of wealth he has, although it is important. Okonkwo has three and is respected throughout the village; however, there is a man more respected called Nwakibie who has nine wives.…
