Things Fall Apart why was okonkwo obsessed with success? Asked by Katewa on 13 Jul 07:50 Last updated by Simba35 on 13 Sep 10:34
In Things Fall Apart, Okonkwo is obessed with success because he does not want to become like his father, who was a lazy debtor. It is this embarassment from his childhood that has driven Okonkwo to become wealthy and successful.
