EA 3.2
Literary Analysis: character analysis
People always change when your around different things. Okonkwo having a terrible personality when others talk bad about his gods. Okonkwo has always been someone who a strong and dependable person. But being around all this new stuff changed him and the motivation to keep on going on with his life. Okonkwo dosent like these new white men living in their land and refuses to let them stay.
Okonkwo’s personality makes him look like he’s always mad at something especially when the white men were talking bad about his gods. On page 146 paragraph 2 the white men told okonkwo this “All gods you named are not gods at all.” When these people told this to okonkwo he was growing a little hate towards the white

people because he only believes in his culture and goes along with whatever is true to the culture. Another reason why okonkwo got seriously bad at the white men was on page 197, “You told us with your own mouth that there was only one god. Now you talk about his son.” The white men were talking bad about their culture and there only being one god when they now have more than one god they look up to. This is disrespectful because how can you say that all those gods he named off isint real that theirs only one god and now they appraise two gods.
The first time they met they weren’t off to a good start the white men started off with disrespecting his culture. On page 146 paragraph 2 “All the gods you named are not gods at all.” Saying that to him made it off to a bad start to trying to get along because you can’t just say that what they believe in isin’t true. Another thing that gave them disrespect was on page 208 paragraph 2 “ That man was one of the great men of umofia you drove him to kill himself.” He couldn’t take all this stuff going on so he did what he thought was best and took the easy way out.
Okonkwo effect on the author’s purpose would be that they found a way to make him weak and took advantage of him not being a strong person anymore. On page 205 paragraph 2 “okonkwo stood looking at the dead men he kept umofia would not be in this war.” He stood up quickly because he knew they would be coming and he did not want to be captured. On page 205 the book said “He whipped his machete on the sand and went away.” Okonkwo gave up at that point and walked away just to get some alone time and think what he has done.
Okonkwo dosent like the new culture that came up into their land and just took the easy way out. Okonkwo’s personality was not any help to anything because of his anger that he shows. The way this whole thing started was when the white men made fun of them and saying that there is only one god. In the beginning they showed how brave okonkwo is by the end of the book he ended up killing himself. This is how okonkwo reacted to the new culture coming into their land.
