Okonkwo and what i think about him

I think that Okonkwo is a nice guy but he is afraid of becoming his father. Once he gets his start he will probably become a nicer man. I don’t think that he should beat his son but he should sit him down and talk to him so that his son knows what he is being beaten for. Although every time we see his son in the story he is hard at work next to his father. He also doesn’t want his wives to be selfish or lazy. If she doesn’t work hard than she is just dead weight, she is just another mouth to feed and she doesn’t help bring in any food. She also is an example to his kids. If they see there mom can get away being lazy they will also be lazy. For example during the week of peace he beats his wife because she left to get her hair done. He beat her because she didn’t make his dinner and she left all of her kids to the first wife and didn’t feed any of them. So overall I think that Okonkwo is a nice guy but he is to afraid of becoming lazy like his father.
