He held one of his wives at gunpoint, and beat his wives often, one instance even being during the week of peace. Him being abusive caused him and his wives not to be as close, as they feared him. When Ikemafuna was stabbed in the back by a machete, he yelled out to Okonkwo to save him but in fear of looking weak (which comes from his issues with his father) in front of his friends he finished off Ikemafuna. When Okonkwo killed Ikemafuna, it had a negative effect on his family and in the long run lead to his alienation from them.

In his essay, Staples recalls several experiences in which he unintentionally frightened passersby because of his age, gender, and most importantly, race, and what struck me was the effect it had on him psychologically. Despite being completely innocent in the stories he goes on to tell, Staples opens introduces the first woman who felt threatened by him as his “first victim,” and after the experience he describes feeling “surprised, embarrassed, and dismayed all at once” (221) for something he could not control.
