Nwoye

In Things Fall Apart, the relationship between Nwoye and Okonkwo certainly catches my interest and has me asking questions between the two. I keep on thinking about the possible outcomes during the story if something in particular did or did not happen. What if Okonkwo wasn't so obsessed of not being like his father, would Nwoye not convert to Christianity if Okonkwo showed him love and acceptance? Or what if the missionaries came sooner and a lot of people converted to Christianity, would Ikemefuna still be able to live? Or what would happen in the novel if Okonkwo and his family converted to Christianity?
   If Okonkwo wasn't so obsessed of not being like his father, I think that Okonkwo could have been a lot nicer person to his children and wives but at the same time, look a lot weaker in the clan and a lost of respect would most likely happen. I think that if the missionaries came a lot sooner and a lot of people converted, Ikemefuna's death could have been avoided which would have an impact on Okonkwo and Nwoye. If Okonkwo and his entire family converted to Christianity, I think that there would be major conflict between him and the clan since Okonkwo is so highly respected, for him to turn against the clan's traditions and beliefs would certainly turn the village into chaos.
