Unoka, Okonkwo’s father, died ten years ago. Why is he described as a failure? How might he influence Okonkwo?

• Unoka is too kind and that causes people to walk all over him. Okonkwo wants to be stronger so people don't take advantage.
• He doesn't influence Okonkwo at all because he is dead.
• Unoka died too soon. Okonkwo has forgotten about him, but keeps the memories alive.
• Unoka doesn't pay back his debts and doesn't work. Okonkwo probably doesn't want to be like him.
