Humanity
Okonkwo is a character who greatly appreciates his life and does whatever possible to become both respected and wealthy, unlike his father who failed at everything he did in life. "Unoka, the grown-up was afailure. He was poor and his wife and children had barely enough to eat" pg 5 However once "Everything Falls Apart" Okonkwo commits the ultimate sin against the tribe, sucide.
"We cannot bury him only strangers can. It is an abomination for a man to take his own life. It is an offense against the Earth." pg 207
"That man was one of the greatest men in Umuofia. You drove him to kill himself" pg 208
