Thoughts of Okonkwo
Okonkwo is a quite self centered man. He believes in what he thinks is right because its the opposite of what his father was. Okonkwo didn't like his father Unoka because he was lazy and too affectionate. Okonkwo wanted to be far from being compared to his failure father. I believe Okonkwo can be to harsh because almost everything his father was pretty much is everyone at one point in life, even him self. My personal opinion of Okonkwo is not to delightful because I dont care what century, tribe, or rules they have everything he stands for is to uptight and wrong to believe for him self and for him to expect of others. Okonkwo needs to accept the mistakes others can make, and even if they do make a mistake that doesnt go well in his mind he shouldn't take it out on them because his it brought back memories of his father. And this a personal opinion but I think Okonkwo should have not got mad at his wife for getting her hair done, I mean even though she left the kids and didn't make him dinner she will most likely come back looking better than before. Well no off that subject and back on track Okonkwo should find new ways of teaching his children of who and what they should be like, because what if Okonkwo's sons end up hating him and want to be the opposite of him. Then Okonkwo could be claimed as the failure.
