Ikemefuna seems to shape Okonkwo's son Nwyoe into a more masculine boy. Okonkwo enjoys this and starts to tell the boys stories of violence, although Nwyoe misses stories from his mother he continues listening to his fathers stories because he knows it makes him happy. I think that Nwyoe feels that he needs to keep his father happy so that he can stay happy. I think that he will be beaten if he doesn't act tough and manly around his father.
Ikemefuna is now to be killed. He thinks that he is going to go back to his village now, but Okonkwo lies to him. If I were Okonkwo I would have warned him so that he could escape. I do not understand why he needs to be killed. He never did anything wrong, he served his time. He should be set free. Okonkwo is so crazy about not looking weak, when Ikemefuna, practically his own son, cries for him to help, instead he does the opposite. I am really starting to hate Okonkwo

All that I have to say is that Okonkwo is a complete idiot. He killed the man who basically saved his son.
