Opinion of Okonkwo

After I read the first four chapters my opinion of Okonkwo is that he is becoming somewhat crazy and not that smart. I think this because he broke the Week of Peace. In the Week of Peace, no beating, killing, or anything that is harmful. This is one reason why Okonkwo is becoming crazy. Another reason why Okonkwo is becoming crazy is that he is taking out his anger on his kids, wives, and Ikemefuna. An example when he beat them was in the Week of Peace (his third wife) and when Nwoye and Ikemefuna couldn’t successfully plant yams. A third reason why I think that Okonkwo is somewhat crazy is that for important events that he uses his first human head to drink his palm wine. This is why I think that Okonkwo is becoming somewhat crazy.

            I think that Okonkwo is not that smart for several reasons. The first reason is that he broke the Week of Peace just because his third wife was getting her hair done, and not making him lunch. The second reason why is that he stammers when he is upset and has to use his fists to settle arguments and not finding an agreement. This is why I think that Okonkwo is not that smart. This is my opinion of Okonkwo after reading the first four chapters.
