Nwoye was different from his father and other villagers due to his introspective and sensitive nature, which made him question traditional beliefs and customs. He was drawn to the new Christian faith introduced by the missionaries, which clashed with his father's beliefs in the tribal religion. Nwoye's beliefs and values alienated him from his family and community, creating a sense of isolation and inner conflict.

Nwoye and Ikemefuna treat each other like brothers. Nwoye looks up to Ikemefuna, who serves as a positive influence in his life. They form a close bond during Ikemefuna's time in Okonkwo's household.
Nwoye begins emulating Ikemefuna, and outwardly showing stereotypical masculine qualities, like grumbling about women and their troubles, feigning annoyance, and pretending he no longer cared for stories his mother and other women told. He was sent to do more difficult masculine tasks like splitting wood, and pounding food. Nwoye also began listening more to his father's stories, including those of wrestling and war.
Ikemefuna possesses a natural ability to excel in physical activities and displays remarkable skills in hunting and wrestling, which impresses the other boys in the village. His confidence and charisma allow him to easily connect with Nwoye, providing a strong male role model that Nwoye admires. This bond helps Nwoye feel a sense of belonging and admiration, contrasting with his own feelings of inadequacy and vulnerability. Ikemefuna's talent ultimately influences Nwoye's perception of masculinity and personal identity.
Nwoye takes several steps including:Watching the missionaries as they arrive in MbantaListening to the missionaries as they tell their storiesBecoming enchanted and spiritually relieved as he listens to their songBecoming interested in the missionariesHanging out with the missionariesGoing to live with the missionariesConverting people along with the missionaries as they journey to the other Igbo villages, including Umuofia.
For Okonkwo, the other religion provides no appeal and is madness, so he can not understand why Nwoye would have joined it. Further, he does not wish to see his children turn their backs on the gods, they would further be ostracized by other villagers, and excluded from high ranks of the tribe.
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.

Well the most important person in the story who is converted to Christianity from Ibo, is Nwoye. Many other members of the Ibo culture are also converted, however, they do not play a significant role in the story. These people only help symbolize that the Ibo culture is falling apart, along with Okonkwo's life.
