Okonkwo could be compared to Brutus easily because they both had tragic flaws that influenced their poor decisions and when they saw it was too late to save their fatherland, they took their lives in order to not be seen as weak. Ikemefuna was a boy that he truly cared for, however, he felt that he must kill him because of his tragic flaw of being portrayed as weak. This is also similar to the death of Caesar because
“The Bushmen are primitive and naturally so, but we are primitive in an artificial sense, and by virtue of the utmost effort” (274).
