Thing Fall Apart

                    In the novel, Things Fall Apart, we see the main character, Okonkwo, act as a ticking time bomb ready to injure anybody. For example, we see him lose control of his emotions on page 25, in the middle of the page, where he beats up his youngest wife only because she did not cook the afternoon meal. Another time he looses control is on page 33 when his second wife "killed" a banana tree when all she did was cut some leaves to wrap some food. As you can see, Okonkwo, has a real short temper, but he is nice at times.
