At an early age Okonkwo was considered young, but was already one of the greatest men due to the fact that he had already taken 2 titles and shown incredible prowess in both 2 inter-tribal wars. What Okonkwo doesn't have however is the lack of compassion and kindness. Because of the fear of being unsuccessful, Okonkwo beats his eldest son for being lazy in hopes of his son being more active.
