Obierika is Okonkwo's great friend, and another prosperous and powerful man in the tribe. Obierika is also thoughtful. He is less misogynistic than Okonkwo, and he has no love for unnecessary violence. He is a compassionate and just man. He is shocked and at a loss for words after finding out about Okonkwo's involvement in Ikemefuna's death.
