Later in the story Onkonkwo wins a fifteen-year-old boy for the tribe. Onkonkwo treats the boy like his own son and takes charge of him. The boy’s name was Ikemefuna and becomes somewhat attached to him, but Onkonkwo does not show any emotion for fear of looking weak. Ikemefuna also takes liking to Onkonkwo the man who he now calls father.
