In at least two hundred words, discuss Okonkwo's relationship to his father and the themes it reveals.

Okonkwo has a difficult relationship with his father, Unoka, who is a lazy debtor. Unoka is a relatively peaceful man, who enjoys playing his flute and indulging in palm wine. Unoka is also described as an ill-fated man, who dies of swelling in his stomach and limbs, which is an abomination to the earth goddess. Unoka ends up dying a untitled man and is carried to the Evil Forest.
Okonkwo fears becoming like his father and is ashamed to be his son. Out of contempt for his father, Okonkwo works to become a successful man with multiple wives and a large compound. Unlike his father, Okonkwo is aggressive and masculine. The only emotion that Okonkwo displays is anger, and he is known throughout Umuofia as a fearless warrior. Okonkwo is also a celebrated wrestler and ends up earning numerous titles. Despite Okonkwo's accomplishments, his excessive masculinity, stubbornness, and anger lead to his downfall.
Okonkwo's difficult relationship with his father thematically correlates to Okonkwo's anger and repressed emotions, which contribute to his demise. Through Okonkwo's negative feelings towards his father, Achebe explores themes of masculinity, success, and fear. Essentially, Okonkwo's accomplishments stem from his fear of becoming like Unoka but adversely reflect his relationships with family members and influence his terrible decisions throughout the novel.
