Okonkwo berates a variety of people.

  • His first wife for asking questions about Ikemefuna's length of stay.
  • His sons (including Ikemefuna) for not being manly enough, or knowing how to properly cut seed yams.
  • Osugo who speaks at a community meeting, for voicing an opinion that Okonkwo disagrees with and daring to voice an opinion without having a title.
  • His wives for not doing their duties to his satisfaction.
  • His daughters.
  • Ezinma, specifically for not sitting like a woman.
  • Himself, for falling to pieces after killing Ikemefuna.
