Achebe's 'Things Fall Apart' / Okonkwo's Aggressive Behavior
[ send me this paper ]
The writer of this 5 page essay describes Okonkwo as a troubled individual with deeply-repressed feelings (particularly towards his father) who-- expresses these feelings as anger and aggression. Okonwko has developed a loathing for anything feminine; he is extremely macho and expects the same of all men around him. In a sense, he is overcompensating for his father's lack of vigor by trying so hard to be extra 'manly.' These points are argued with supporting examples from the story. No other sources cited.

Having viewed Umuofia's culture as tending to be relatively stationary as well as harboring unstable equilibrium, one can explain the validity of such a statement by describing various events of social heroism that occur in the novel which can effectively justify its truth.
