Okonkwo's greatest fear is to become a man like his father, a lazy drunkard with loads of debt, in disrepute with the rest of the village, but still able to charm people enough to lend him money.

In order to counter this, he attempts to be the hardest working, manliest, and most respected man in his village. He obeys all of the village's leaders.
