FEAR!!!
I know that every one fears something, even if they won't admit it, all the tribes fear the Umofia because lets face it they are just awesome and would win any war vs. another tribe. Okonkwo doesn't fear much and he is a brave man but he does fear weakness, ever being thought of being weak; and he fears the loss of his loved ones, which he will never admit. When he loses Ikemafuna he is distraught and doesn't eat or rest for like 3 days and is all depressed. When the witch doctor comes to take Ekwefi to the caves he tries to stop the priestess because he loves Ekwefi and fears what will happen to her. If I had to go away from my family for a long time I would probably be fine wih it for awhile, unless I was ripped away like Ikemafuna, then after awhile I would start to miss my family.

Yes sirre! Fear is the most powerful motivational emotion the world over. It can even drive sane people to do terribly strange things to boot.
ReplyDeleteDarn it, I'm monolouging again.
I believe that the only thing that humans need to survive is family, friends, shelter, and love. When we are taken or can't have these things, we will have deep inner fears or insecurities. There are also fears that we tend to exgarrate( can't SPELL that word!!! GRRRRRR!!!) Sorry... anyway, our minds will make something out of nothing and what scares us more than anything are things we can't see, things that will happen, and things that we change for the better... BELISSIMA!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree that everyone fears something, but if we let it control us we then become truly weak. Okonkwo fears being thought of as weak, but because he lets his fear control him, thats when he becomes truly weak.
