Okonkwo

I think that Okonkwo is bad person. He is very mentally weak with a giant ego, which always leads him to beating his family even though he likes them. He is also so unstable and mean that when his wife pulled a few leaves off of a banana tree he beat her then tried to shoot her, but missed because he’s a crappy shot. Furthermore, when he is “taking Ikemefuma back to his village” he kills him. Ikemefuma tries to escape and runs to Okonkwo calling for him to help him, he just kills him like its nothing just to prove to his fellow villagers that he is not weak. He is also very strict with his son. If his son cries or shows any sign of weakness he beats him. He cannot realize that his son is different than him and is not obsessed with violence and drinking palm wine out of human heads.
