What character in Things Fall Apart makes mistakes and what are the consequences?

In Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, the main character Okonkwo was a man who lived in the village of Umuofia and was an important part of the Ibo clan. In the novel he makes a mistake. He lived his whole life trying so hard not to be like his shameful father that he got bundled up in his thoughts and made careless mistakes. His father, Unoka, was unsuccessful with no titles and “was heavily in debt” (8). He was a beggar who asked people for money and then wouldn’t pay them back. He died a shameful death when he got sick and his body was thrown into the Evil Forrest.
