Okonkwo and Eugene Part II

After reading further into the book, it seems like Eugene is trying to prove me wrong about him being the same as Okonkwo. Sure, both are still important leaders in a very religious community. And both are still violent towards their family and care more about their public image than personal relationships. The major difference was that Okonkwo was likable despite his flaws. He had a few redeeming qualities that allowed the reader to think "that was bad but I understand where he's coming from." With Eugene there seems to be no redeeming quality. He runs his family like a dictator then criticizes the government. He is a devout Christian but he still beats his children. In summary, he is a hypocrit who is impossible to feel any forgiveness or sympathy for.
