Okonkwo and other characters in Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart" often criticize neighboring tribes for their perceived weakness and lack of tradition. They view tribes that adopt new customs or show leniency towards conflict as inferior, believing that such behaviors undermine their own cultural values and strength. Additionally, they express disdain for those who embrace colonial influences, seeing it as a betrayal of their heritage and a threat to their way of life. This criticism reflects their deep-seated fear of change and loss of identity.
