How does Nwoye's charcter compare/contrast to Okonkwo's character throughout the story

From the very beginning of his life, Nwoye was not at all
the manly type of son that Okonkwo wished he would be.  He was not as interested in
wrestling, or as good at it.  He does not want to grow up to get titles and be the type
of man that Okonkwo wishes he would be.  In some ways he reminds Okonkwo of his father,
which is terribly disappointing.


As Ikemefuna and Nwoye get
closer as time goes on, Nwoye actually tries to get more into the things that Okonkwo
wants him to because he is so fond of Ikemefuna.


After
Ikemefuna's death, Nwoye is angrier and angrier with his father and starts to push
farther and farther away, eventually joining the Christians and basically putting an end
to the relationship with his father.
