Chinua Achebe’s novel‚ Things Fall Apart‚ illustrates several relationships between parents and their children. In most of these relationships‚ conflict arises that separates the two individuals and creates discord. In creating such a conflict between Okonkwo and Unoka‚ as well as between Okonkwo and Nwoye‚ Achebe creates a much deeper and accessible piece of literature. Unoka‚ Okonkwo’s father‚ is depicted as a weak‚ unmotivated‚ and lazy figure. Okonwo‚ on the other hand‚ is a zealous‚ hard-working
