In Things Fall Apart, there are many different personal interpretations of the character Okonkwo. A commonly accepted answer would be that Okonkwo wants tradition and his town to stay the same.

Okonkwo wants to be the most respected man in his village, and wants all his sons to be well-respected warriors, and his daughters married to other well-respected warriors.
