Can you fight destiny or fate? Can you reconfigure the way your life will ultimately play out? Okonkwo attempts to overcome the fates and the history his father left him. From young to middle-aged, Okonkwo strives in his efforts to be seen as the ultimate provider and warrior. However, in the end, he struggles to conform to the changes his tribe makes with the involvement of the white man. No matter how much he struggled and pushed for success, he ended no better, truly, than his father.
In general, people face the cycle of success and failure. The true measure of humanity is not in how long a success survives, but how that individual copes throughout both bounty and famine. Adjusting and surviving and striving through all walks of life are a better measure than only in times of trial or in times of plenty.
