WEAKNESS=FEMENISM
Throughout these nine villages, a man's worth is directly in relation to his masculinity. One
of the manliest men in these tribes, Okonkwo, grew up with a woman for a father and overcame this
misfortune. Does someone this manly and strong even have a femenine side? He is now a great
wrestler, warrior, and successful in his family and farm. As we all know a man can become
recognized as feminine from just feeling remorse after murder. Even our strong Okonkwo has felt this
remorse after killing his, basically, son Ikemefuna. Ikemefuna had found favor with Okonkwo, even
if he never expressed it. Is this idea of weakness as femenism fitting or sexism? Is this expectation for
men too high? Many men in these villages still put their morals over the chance to show their
manliness, but others like Okonkwo, will even kill the ones they love as to not be seen as weak. As
warriors, being manly is apart of the job. Will these views be changed by the white men coming with
their God? Many people's views on the way our life is going now are changing, and many are
following the white man instead of our gods.
