Okonkwo is very proud, ambitious, and ill-tempered man. In this book, he is a tragic hero. He has a role of the leader in a clan called Umuofia. How did he get such an honorable status? Since early childhood, he fights with his laziness; he worked very hard to gain his goals and not to look like his father. He earns his name and respects very hard, and one day he finally gets his high status in the clan. He also has three wives and several kids. The only thing he was scared – not to be like his father who was scared of wars and battles. Okonkwo is very strong and handsome as we realize him.
