Who is Unoka in Things Fall Apart?

Answer 1

Akunna is a clan leader of Umuofia who argues religion with Mr. Brown. In doing so, the two men learn from each other. Akunna develops parallels between his religion and the Christian religion, formulating an articulate defense of the Igbo's religion. He influences Mr. Brown to not attack their religion directly, but instead to appeal to the two religions' common aspects when converting.

Answer 2

Unoka is Okonkwo's father. He is a lazy debtor, who likes to play the Flute and get drunk. He borrows money from everyone, even while they know he will never pay them back. However, he is so sweet-lipped that he is still able to borrow money. He is described as an effeminate man who fears blood, and is not a warrior. He has no titles, so he is considered an agbala.

Answer 3

Unoka is Okonkwo's father in the novel "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe.

His character serves as a contrast to his son Okonkwo, who strives to be successful and respected in his community.

Answer 4

This is never said in the book, though he is dead by the time the book starts.
