How does Nwoye change during the course of the novel Things Fall Apart?

Answer 1

Nwoye first starts out as a somewhat sad-faced youth. He was more lazy than his hard-working father, and received frequent beatings for this. He seems more into effeminate things like female stories. However, when Ikemefuna comes into the picture, Nwoye sets out to emulate his new older brother, becoming more manly and hard working. After Ikemefuna's death, Nwoye internally rejects the culture of his father.

When the Christians come to Mbanta, Nwoye feels like the answers to his questions have been fulfilled. He ends up becoming a Christian, expecting to convert the rest of his family, bar his father, at a later date.
