Nwoye's father, Okonkwo, views him with disappointment and disdain. He perceives Nwoye as weak and effeminate, traits that he believes are unbecoming of a warrior and a man in their culture. This disappointment is compounded by Nwoye’s lack of interest in traditional masculine pursuits, leading Okonkwo to harshly criticize and attempt to toughen him up, ultimately straining their relationship. Okonkwo’s rigid expectations reflect his own fears of being perceived as weak, which he projects onto Nwoye.
