Okonkwo continues struggles with his identity, as the spectre of Okonkwo's father and Unoka's dishonour as an agbala continue to chase him. Okonkwo is continually running away from the reputation of his father, so much so that he goes the opposite extremes.

Nwoye struggles as his father's son. As father is so great, he can never match his prowess. Further, the things he enjoys, such as his mother's stories, are symbols of weakness in his father's eyes. Nwoye struggles to be himself and his father's son at the same time, but ultimately rejects both his father and his native culture to convert to Christianity.
