Okonkwo and his second wife, Ekwefi, share a complex relationship that is more rooted in duty and societal expectations than romance. Although Okonkwo shows moments of care for Ekwefi and their daughter, Ezinma, his harsh demeanor often overshadows any potential for affection. Ekwefi, who has endured considerable hardship, possesses a deep emotional bond with her daughter that highlights her resilience rather than a romantic connection with Okonkwo. Overall, their relationship is strained and primarily defined by Okonkwo's rigid adherence to traditional gender roles.

Relationship between father and son in things fall apart?

If that were to happen to me, i would try to be around him more, and think of the things he would want to do. then i would invite the family, including him and see if he comes. if he does,then be nice about everything. if it is fishing, and he cooks the fish, offer to cook the fish for him this time! try it!


What do you think about Okonkwo?

I think Okonkwo was a noble man, and an archetype of the proud warrior. It is indeed saddening to see him suffer, but one cannot help but think that his suffering was caused by his own hands. I feel if he had lived a more self-reflective life, he might have been able to not 'escape' the shadow of his father, but rather accept it. If he could realize by himself that he was a different man than his father, and that who his father was shouldn't affect him, then he might have had a better life.


Is Romanticism the opposite of Realism in art?

yes actually I think the existence of 'Realism' is questionable, if you look at those novels that were catogrized as 'Realism' they basicly all have romantic features.

Why do you think a cold shiver ran down okonkwo's back as he remembered the last time the old man Ezeudu visited him?

Okonkwo likely shivered because the last time Ezeudu visited him, he predicted that Okonkwo would have a severe loss, which was later confirmed when Okonkwo's gun exploded, accidentally killing Ezeudu's son. This memory would have triggered fear and anxiety in Okonkwo, as it reminded him of his impending misfortune.
