But two years later when a son was born he called him Nwokfia- ‘Begotten in the Wilderness.’ “
• Okonkwo didn’t keep his word to the kinsmen by naming his child Nwokfia. He broke the promise he made with this mother’s people. This is a form of toxicity masculinity because Okonkwo is being selfish by not settling with the original name Nneka which gives power to the woman.]]> 2019-05-14 01:56:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cutelittlebugg/48vx99b51s0t/wish/359722903 cutelittlebugg https://padlet.com/cutelittlebugg/48vx99b51s0t/wish/359729523 “If any one of you prefers to be a woman, let him follow Nwoye now while I am alive so that I can curse him”

And he had hoped that Okonkwo would be happy to hear of it. But Okonkwo had driven him away with threat that if he came into his compound again, he would be carried out of it.”
• Nwoye tries to tell his father about his new success, but Okonkwo doesn’t want him near or to speak with him.
