Things Fall Apart

         So in this novel it has mentioned what Nwoye has gone through many challenges as he matures and those obstacles are not good ones.  Nwoye is not like his father as we said before and well his relationship with his father,before Ikemefuna's arrival, was not at all affectionate.   During the three years Ikemefuna stayed with Okonkwo, Nwoye managed to establish a trust with Ikemefuna, in which changed him.  Nwoye began to work as hard as his father and Okonkwo was fond of him then.  Later in Things Fall Apart  the relationship with Nwoye and Okonkwo sort of goes downhill.  Okonkwo does not want to know anything about Nwoye after Nwoye converts to the religion of Christianity and the new ways of the white men.  Okonkwo is furious about Nwoye's actions and beats him which causes the departure of Nwoye from home. Nwoye resembles as Unoka in some cases, but throughout the book there have been times were Okonkwo has compared Nwoye and his father together.
