This chapter is a very philosophical one. It details how Okonkwo is very proud, impatient, harsh, and unforgiving. He is a violent man, who beat his wife during the week of peace. He finds fault with whatever his son and Ikemefuna do with the yams. He becomes overcomfidant and proud. In short, his head is becoming so large that he will soon be unable to wear a hat.
While he is one of the richest men in the village, he insults the poorer men. Though he was once one of the poorest men, he looks down on those who have nothing. He does not care about beating someone, indeed, he does it often enough that I am starting to believe he enjoys it.
At this point, I do not like him much. Ikemefuna, on the other hand, is cool. He is like the proverbial older brother. He seems to know wverything and is really awesome to okonkwo's son. He soon got over being taken from his clan and seems happy now.

I agree when you say that Okonkwo is impatient. Beating your wife because she gets her hair braided...A little exteme don't you think? He seems monstrous.
