Shows of emotion, including praise, are considered womanly. Okonkwo has a deep-seeded fear of being thought of as less than a man.

Okonkwo's reluctance to show affection is due to his belief that showing emotion is a sign of weakness. He has been ingrained with the idea that masculinity is associated with being strong and powerful, so he refrains from displaying any signs of vulnerability, even towards his own family. This is also influenced by his fear of being like his father, who he views as weak.
