What is a personality trait that both Okeke and Nnaemeka share?

Nnaemeka and his father are both determined individuals throughout the short story. Nnaemeka understands the significance of his decision to choose his own wife by purposely rejecting the Ibo tradition. He also understands the consequences attached to marrying Nene. Nnaemeka knows that his father will be upset. Despite the fact that Nnaemeka risks losing his relationship with his father, he is determined to marry the love his life regardless of Okeke's reaction. Upon learning that Nnaemeka has already chosen a wife, Okeke shuns him by refusing to have a relationship with his son. Although he loves Nnaemeka, Okeke takes an uncompromising stance towards his son's decision to marry Nene. Okeke does not have anything to do with his son for eight years. His determination to reject Nnaemeka does not waiver until he reads Nene's letter describing his grandsons. Both Okeke and Nnaemeka are determined individuals who accept the consequences of their actions.
