Okonkwo's downfall is his inability to completely follow his tribes traditions, and then his inability to adapt to European colonization.

This is highlighted by the following events:

1. Okonkwo's beating of his wife during the week of peace.

2. Okonkwo's slaying of Ikemefuna.

3. Okonkwo's accidental killing of a tribesman.

4. Okonkwo's killing of the messenger.

5. Okonkwo's suicide.
