Okonkwo came from an African tribe that possessed a fierce sense of pride in their culture and history. In “The Igbo People – Origins and History,” Slattery (1999) explored the history of the Igbo. She believed that because of lack of additional evidence, the most plausible roots of the Igbo came from the “core area” of Igboland, where diverse immigrant communities from the north and west lived in the border of this core area, since the ninth century. Owerri, Orlu and Okigwi formed this core area belt, and the people thought they had no tradition that they came from anywhere else. Slattery (1999) believed that migration came from all directions, and soon, a homogenized Igbo culture developed. Furthermore, she narrated that during the fourteenth or fifteenth centuries, more people entered the Igbo land. The newcomers often differentiated themselves from the original dwellers. The native Igbo practiced “geographical marginality, the institution of kingship, a hierarchical title system and the amosu tradition (witchcraft),” which the newcomers deemed as “less cultured” (Slattery, 1999). Despite these differences, the Igbo, in general, had a superior sense of their culture. For them, they were better warriors and leaders than other tribes. This sense of superiority seeped into Okonkwo’s personality. Like his contemporaries, he attributed high values of courage and cunning to the titled male members of his society.&nbsp.
