as an act of bravery and strength, when in reality, he was disappointing his other clansmen.

His suicide was very ironic because he wanted nothing more in life than to fight, and he lost his chance to fight when he lost his life. His suicide was also very ironic because if any other man, or member of the clan were to have killed themselves, Okonkwo would have scoffed and been disappointed in how ‘cowardly’ some of his clan members were, yet he chose to kill himself. Some people don’t know how to balance their belief with the rest of their lives and Okonkwo is clearly one of those people.
