It's so awesome. Even though Okonkwo isn't a man of very many words and doesn't show weakness, or tries not to, and thinks gentleness and kindness is weak, he is an alright guy very deep down inside. After Ekwefi went to go after Chielo and Ezinma, Okonkwo went to the hills and the caves to be with Ekwefi or tell her to go home but they weren't there so he went back home and waited. He came back three other times and it was not until the fourth time that Ekwefi had shown up. By then he was gravely worried. He didn't show it at all but he was. Then he offered to stay and what for Chielo and Ezinma to come out while she went back home to get some sleep but she stayed too. He didn't get any sleep that night because he was worried. I find that pretty cute. Out of all the stuff that he had done in the book, that was the nicest and the most that is shown of his softer kinder side. Okonkwo may not be as bad as he pretends to be.
