The fall of Ikemefuna marks the true beginning of Okonkwo's downfall. Before this, Okonkwo's situation was quite good and looking upwards; before this event is about the peak of Okonkwo's life.

Ikemefuna was a positive influence on Okonkwo's children, specifically Nwoye. His presence encouraged Nwoye to act more like a stereotypical manly male. Nwoye worked harder, spent less time with the females in the household, and grumbled about female troubles. Ikemefuna also influenced the other children, stopping them from telling the truth as to how Obigaeli broke her pot.

Ikemefuna was an influence on Nwoye after due to his death, influencing Nwoye to give up on trying to be the stereotypical male.

Okonkwo's tragic fall was from being the most revered warrior, farmer and man in his village, to being exiled, and eventually having his world fall apart around him. His fall ends in his self-hanging.
