Okonkwo is portrayed as a complex character driven by a deep fear of weakness and failure, largely stemming from his past experiences with his father. His fierce ambition and desire for success lead him to be a respected warrior and a prosperous farmer, yet they also result in harshness towards his family and community. This duality creates a compelling tension as he struggles between tradition and personal ambition, ultimately foreshadowing potential conflicts in his life.
