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.
