Okonkwo

Okonkwo is a very interesting character. He puts on an appearance of being very masculine, but he does have a soft side. As hard as he tries, he is not able to hide his true feelings. The death of Ikemefuna truly affects Okonkwo even though he does not want to accept that it does. Seeing Ikemefuna's death makes Okonkwo lose his appetite and always wonder about the situation. He also has a deep connection with his daughter Ezinma. She may be his daughter, but he feels closer with her than any of his sons. He admires her spirit because he sees himself in her. He goes after Ezinma when Chielo takes her away late at night. He truly cares for his daughter. Okonkwo may put on a tough exterior, but he is not that heartless.
