Why does Nwoye hate the Umuofian culture?

The Umuofian culture puts a pressure on Nwoye to act like a man in the culture. This depiction of the ideal man does not treasure the same things Nwoye treasures, such as the stories that his mother tells him, or the songs the Christians sing. Further, the Umuofian culture has led to the killing of Ikemefuna, whom Nwoye saw as his elder brother. Nwoye considers such a death unfair and unjustified.


Does okonkwo beat nwoye when he finds put he became christian in the novel Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe?

Yes, he is a tragic hero, because like many other tragic heroes he has a flaw and because of that flaw or weakness he suffered tragedies and then a tragic death. His main flaw stems from the fear of being like his father: a lazy, social, drunkard debtor. He cannot display his emotions because he doesn't want to look weak or effeminate, and when he does show any emotion, it is an uncontrollable rage.
