how does the rest of the village feel about Okonkwo
Okonkwo has overcome incredible adversity. His father's pathetic end and death tainted him with shame, and left him without inheritance. His rise to social power and wealth has been a triumph of stubbornness and will. The villagers see Okonkwo as a confident that he can master his environment; he rules as a man, and he is fiercely proud of his people.
