At the beginning of the book Things Fall Apart, it describes the feelings that one of




the main characters Okonkwo has towards his father Unoke. Except, this feeling that the son has




toward his father aren't usual father son feeling. In this case Okonkwo is not only ashamed of his




father but also has extreme anger toward him. For the reasons that his father is lazy and only




thinks about today and doesn't think about tomorrow. In addition, that he was in debt to many




of the people in his community. The sad part however, is that Okonkwo is still ashamed and




angry towards his father even though he has past away at least ten years ago. Not only this but




okonkwo has these feelings because he is scared of ending up like his father lazy and living his




family in debt.
