Okonkwo's Personality

I think many people believe that Okonkwo's character or personality is arrogant and controling but I believe that it is a product of his enviroment. When it comes to part 3 in the book, Okonkwo's character becomes more clear to understand. He cares for his family and being superior is the only way he knows how to protect them. It is also clear that Okonkwo has extreme difficulty in accepting change. This is noticable when the tribe starts to follow the missionaries beliefs and they begin to accept their European culture. His inability to accept change is one of the main causes of his death.
