Forrest's opinion of okonkwo

I view okonkwo as a tall strong man with a  short temper. I think he is a mean man who is not very kind to others. I think this because he always talks with his fists when he is angry because h stutters when he try's to talk. he also beat his wife when she went out to get her hair done. This would normally not be a bad thing in there culture but he did it on the week of peace when it is forbidden two beat or kill people because the gods are getting ready for the planting season. he also thinks everyone is lazy from his sons to his own father. Even if your father is lazy you are not supposed to think of him as worthless. but okonkwo is also a had worker. when he got his first yams and planted them and a drought came he built little tents over all of them to try and get them to survive. Even though he started out his life with no yams from his father and was already in debt because of his father he managed to make a living for himself.
