Shakespeare reappears (and is first mentioned as any form of playwright or actor) in 1592 when John Greene (a successful and very popular writer) attacks

Okonkwo was one of the strongest and most respected men in his society. Yet, he feared becoming an exact image of his father; therefore, embodying the values of manliness, he took on his own approach to life and how he dealt with problems in society.
