In this essay, I will write about about a man who believes that fear should not be an option, and that he should always have faith in his spirits. The man’s name is Okonkwo, he is the main character in the book I’m writing about, “Things Fall Apart,” by Chinua Achebe. The fear he had towards his own kids make it hard to love him.
