Answer 4

When Nwoye is on the farm, Nwoye ends up helping with the farming, doing tasks like cutting up yams into yam seeds. However, Nwoye was also incipiently lazy.

When Ikemefuna comes to the house, Nwoye ends up becoming Ikemefuna's younger brother, becoming quite attached to Ikemefuna.

When he goes to the river, Nwoye ends up bringing back water in a pot.

As Ikemefuna influences Nwoye, Nwoye ends up acting like more of a traditional man, doing masculine tasks like splitting wood or pounding food. When asked to do something, he would feign annoyance and grumble about women.

When his father tells stories, Nwoye ends up listening, even though he prefers more abstract children's stories. Nwoye ends up pretending he no longer cares for these stories.

When the locusts come, Nwoye ends up eating many with Okonkwo and Ikemefuna.

When it is told that Ikemefuna will leave their home, Nwoye ends up breaking down and crying, whereupon he is beat by Okonkwo.

When Nwoye goes to his mother's hut, he ends up telling her that Ikemefuna was going home.

As the men take Ikemefuna and leave the village, Nwoye ends up sitting in his mother's hut with tears in his eyes.

When Ikemefuna is killed and Okonkwo comes back, Nwoye ends up feeling the same sort of disturbance as the time when the twins were thrown away in the evil forest.

Nwoye ends up investigating the Christian faith who offers solace in their music and poems. Nwoye ends up being choked and interrogated by his father about his association with the Christians.

Nwoye ends up rejecting his father, his traditions, and converts to Christianity, changing his name to Isaac. Okonkwo in turn, rejects Nwoye.

After the events of Things Fall Apart and told in No Longer At Ease:

Isaac becomes a Christian catchetist, one of the first. He marries a wife and has a son Obi. Although he is a Christian, he warns his son Obi against marrying an osu, recounting his own struggle as he was cast out by his father, and mentioning the heavy price he paid. Perhaps Nwoye is wise enough to see that Obi will not really be willing to pay the price in the long run, or he is trying to spare both his son and the rest of Nwoye's family the struggle and embarrassment.

Answer 5

Nwoye is Okonkwo's eldest son in Things Fall Apart. Unfortunately for Okonkwo, he displays effeminate characteristics such as loving his mother's stories and songs. He eventually converts to Christianity and changes his name to Isaac.

Answer 6

Nwoye was the eldest son of Okonkwo, and was the son of Okonkwo's first wife.

As a youth, he resembled his grandfather Unoka. Unlike his father, he was more effeminate, and preferred music and preferred feminine stories as opposed to the masculine war stories of his father. When living in Mbanta due to his father's exile, Nwoye abandoned his family and joined the Christian missionaries, changing his name to Isaac.

He would later become a priest, getting married to a woman named Hannah. The two have children, one of whom is Obi Okonkwo, the protagonist of No Longer At Ease.
