Sympathetic people and unsympathetic people both people but have different ways of feeling about people or animals in this essay i want you to hear my opinion about okonkwo that tells whether he is sympathetic or unsympathetic.Okonkwo is a strong man in a ibo village in nigeria, he is well known by neighboring villages and beyond. Okonkwo has been in battles and has even brought home heads of his enemies as trophies.Okonkwo has three wives Ekwefi, Ojugo, and wife number one (unknown name) and has four kids Ezinma, nkechi, obiageli, and nwoye. Under all that fame and glory he is a very abusive father and husband he beats his wives and starves his only son. This man is a menace to his own family he is cruel and unfair to his son and daughters and actions like this make me want to believe that this man is a unsympathetic character in this story.Okonkwo went as far as to try and shoot one of his wives in the back, and he beats her for leaving his daughter with his other wife. Okonkwo believes that if you make the tiniest mistake that you should be beaten. As far as with his son the one he calls lazy and incompetent he would starve him for 3 weeks straight.For example “Okonkwo stood over him while he swallowed his yams trembling a few moments he went behind the hut and began to vomit painfully”.
