Additionally, Unoka was scared of blood and died of swelling from an insufficient diet-both of which are looked down upon in the village and considered feminine.
This attitude formed partly as a response to his father, Unoka, who, though he was considered very lively and generous, also maintained many debts around the village and was seen as unable to provide for himself. Fittingly for someone of his particular skill set, Okonkwo believes very adamantly in strength, self-sufficiency, and action-in short, masculinity in its most basic forms.
Okonkwo is well regarded in his village as a great warrior and wrestler, having won renown in his youth after defeating the champion wrestler Amalinze the Cat (so-called because he never landed on his back).
