His actions are seen as forced rather than genuine. Orgon is so blinded by Tartuffe that he does not even believe his own son when he tells him that Tartuffe is trying to seduce his wife Elmire. Orgon responds with “Ah, you deceitful boy, how dare you try to stain his purity with so foul a lie?” Orgon finally needs to perform a scientific experiment by hiding under the table to actually hear Tartuffe try and seduce his wife. Orgon’s mistake is that he needed to trust his senses rather then his spirituality and need to prove himself. His desire to be all powerful Orgon and control his children’s lives ended him in a bind where all his belongings were in the hands of Tartuffe.

One day, Timmy was taken from his dad by his aunt and uncle, who he hadn’t spent much time with, or even really known much about him. He automatically did not like them because he did not understand why they took him from his dad. Timmy lived with his aunt and uncle for about two weeks, and
1. Although he is thankful for the welcoming of his mother’s kinsmen, Okonkwo regrets every day of his exile (Achebe 162).
Okonkwo’s desire to be a “real” man puts his and his family’s future at risk. In Part I on the novel, Okonkwo first puts his family at risk when his anger causes
The second part of the passage shows the change in the entire village and their reaction, or lack of reaction, to Okonkwo's return. Okonkwo's initial plan was to make his return to Umuofia attract the attention of the entire village with two beautiful daughters, a larger house with room for two more wives, and the initiation of his sons into the ozo society. The "ozo" society, a use of African English to add culture to the novel, is made up of powerful and titled men in the village. To Okonkwo's dismay, he attracts little attention (it was "not as memorable as he had wished") because the village is occupied with the new culture and religion growing in the village.

In the novel Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, Okonkwo the protagonist is a great man in his clan. But things change just in a sudden. During the funeral of Ezudu, when everyone is shooting, Okonkwo is also shooting, Okonkwo's gun had exploded and a piece of iron had pierced Ezudu's grandson. He is only sixteen yeas old. He is a growing young man, which is treasured by his family. Okonkwo has committed the female murder, he has to go to his motherland and return back to his clan after seven years.

When analyzing the different relationships Okonkwo has with his family and acquaintance such as Ikemefuna. You can than see how both Nwoye and Ikemefuna have a different perspective on how they get treated by okonkwo. Such as how Nwoye thinks his dad is kind because he treats him good. Okonkwo cared about nwoye however he did not much show it. As for ikemefuna “ he treated ikemefuna as he treated everybody else- with a heavy hand.” He was set out to be more like property of the family however ikemefuna looked up to him as if he were his dad. And so on okonkwo treated him kindly because of the admiration. However showed it in a much simple way still treating him with a heavy hand.Within these relations you can than on see how he is a unsympathetic character he cares for certain members of his family but he doesn’t really identify himself with anyone. He may care for you but he keeps those feelings to himself not letting others see how he really feels. Either he shows a slight bit of mercy or he beats you like how he beats his wife and almost shot her. He thinks showing affection is for cowards basically.
Okonkwo’s dislike of his father’s laziness largely contributes to Okonkwo’s ambition leading him to try to act as “masculine” as possible and to work hard to provide for his family, contributing to his rise in society. However, his constant desire to prove his masculinity and inability to adapt to his surroundings drive him to his downfall because
