Feminist Criticism

There is a strong perpetuation of the male supremacy in the novel "Things Fall Apart". For instance, our central character, Okonkwo, always tend to belittle the female gender. There is an instance that he beats his second wife, Ekwefi and nearly kill her with a gun. For him, the female gender is "as weak as an old woman".
I can say that Okonkwo is a feminist because he protest against the standards and values, advocacy of minority rights.
