Okonkwo treats women as objects, much like the rest of his tribe. He fathers children with his 3 wives. He expects women to fulfill their duties of taking care of the children, making meals, housework and small farming chores, while he and his sons do the heavy work.
Okonkwo rampantly abused his wives in the book Things Fall Apart. He beats them without true provocation, but because he desires an outlet. He mostly maintains control over them.

The setback teaches Okonkwo some humility and how to deal with failure which is seemingly caused by his own will.
