Achebe is keen to present Okonkwo not as some idealized hero that can do no wrong, but as a real human being who faces many different kinds of conflicts and troubles in his life.

By highlighting Okonkwo's failures early on, Achebe sets the stage for his character development throughout the novel. These failures serve as a foil to Okonkwo's later achievements, showcasing the complexity of his character and the impact of societal expectations on his identity. Additionally, it creates tension and anticipation for how Okonkwo will navigate his challenges and conflicts as the story progresses.
