(B/C) Okonkwo has built up the repuation of being strong and cold. He goes as far as contributing to the murder of a family member. (E) "You did it only with yourself in mind. You are weak for desperately protecting the image you built for yourself" (Ruan, 1) (A) Okonkwo tries hard to keep his image of masculinity up by being strong and rejecting anything feminine. This creates a weakness for Okonkwo as he is scared to be seen as weak. He defends himself by saying that it was for the village and that Ikemefuna is not his real son. It is because of his tough fragile masculinity that pressures him into acting remorseless as to not show softness.]]> 2022-03-24 19:29:37 UTC https://padlet.com/winnier2/im4ptziw8lp4ns39/wish/2112535852 winnier2 https://padlet.com/winnier2/im4ptziw8lp4ns39/wish/2112537313 Ikemefuna - How could you!?

You are right. I do not understand. I do not understand why you would this! You are even weaker than your father.
