Throughout Chinua Achebe’s novel Things Fall Apart, the protagonist Okonkwo is portrayed as a defiant character who stands by and believes every word that comes out of his mouth. His actions and thoughts combined with his family life give the readers a very good understanding of what kind of leader he would be, including what possible conflict his leadership could lead to. At a very young age, Okonkwo is an honor to the village of Umuofia due to his defeat of a wrestler from the rival village of Mbaino. Okonkwo’s father, Unoka, does not give Okonkwo an easy start to his young life. Unoka is known around the village to be selfish, carefree, and a considerable debtor and Okonkwo is expected to follow suit.

He, in fact, kills two people who are very near and dear to the Igbo people in Umuofia. A young boy by the name of Ikemefuna is a sacrifice from the rival village Mbaino who is given up to Umuofia to compensate for the murder of Ogbuefi Udo’s wife.
