Okonkwo- Okonkwo is a man who was born into a family of not hard workers. He is now a very hard worker with three wives and more than two children. He owns two farms full of yams. His family is very high up and he is young. He is respected by the elders since he has worked so hard. He is also the protagonist.
Nwoye- Nwoye is Okonkwo's son and is not a very hard worker in the beginning of the book. However he becomes a slightly harder worker and his father starts to get along with him a little more. His father is still pretty harsh on him because he wants him to be successful.
Unoka- Unoka is Okonkwo's dad. He is dead and Okonkwo didn't get along with him very well. Okonkwo didn't like him because he was lazy. He was in major debt with everyone. He also was very poor and didn't have any farms of yams since he wasn't a hard worker.
Nwakibie- Nwakibie is a rich dude who gives Okonkwo a large number of seeds. He does this because he thinks that Okonkwo is a hard worker and can handle the work. He gives Okonkwo the seeds at Unoka's funeral.
Ani- Ani is the earth goddess and is respected by everyone. She is supposed to be in charge of all the crops and people make sacrifices to her.
Wives- A lot of people are said to have wives but their names are never mentioned in the story. They are just called the first wife or second wife. I think that this book is kind of sexist in this way because the wives don't have names.
Daughters- Okonkwa's daughters are mentioned a lot in the reading. They are mentioned a lot in the end. Their names are Ezinma, Ekwefi, Obiageli, and Nkechi.
