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.
