"[Unoka] was poor and his wife and children had barely enough to eat."

"But [Okonkwo's] whole life was dominated by fear, the fear of failure and of weakness. . . . It was the fear of himself, lest he should be found to resemble his father. . . ."

"Unoka loved . . . the first kites that returned with the dry season, and the children who sang songs of welcome to them."

"If any money came [Unoka's] way . . . he immediately bought gourds of palm-wine, called round his neighbors and made merry."

"Okonkwo is a strong, disciplined man but he cannot enjoy simple things in life." "And so Okonkwo was ruled by one passion - to hate everything that his father Unoka had loved."
