the way that okonowo shows that he doesn't care about people by beating his family, threatening them, and making fun of them. like his son he doesn't like or care about because he is "weak" so okonowo views him as looking like his father. okon0w0 also beats his wife when she went to get her hair done and forgot to prepare dinner for him. he didn't even ask where she was he just beat her senseless because his tummy was empty. in some ways he does show that he cares but in a way he was showing that he only cared about the strong. when his daughter was taken he followed but only because he thinks she would have made a good man because she is strong and smart.
