In "Things Falls Apart" by Chinua Achebe, Okonkwo's father, Unoka, was considered an effeminate coward by the clan's standards. While he had gentler traits and was a talented musician, these traits were not valued in men. Unoka never became a warrior, never took a title, and he was awful with money, "...In his day he was lazy and improvident and was quite incapable of thinking about tomorrow." This made Okonkwo so ashamed of his father that he does everything as he can to express his masculinity. To show that he was not weak like his father, Okonkwo quickly became an amazing fighter, gained wealthy, and married three wives. "As the elders said, if a child washed his hands he could eat with kings. Okonkwo had clearly washed his hands and so he ate with kings and elders."

Atticus has a perfect reputation, while Dolphus is considered a disgrace for living a forbidden lifestyle.

Mrs. Dashwood and her daughters Elinor, Marianne, and Margaret, become impoverished after the death of her husband. His farm, Norland in Sussex, must pass to John Dashwood, son of his first marriage. Although John promised his father to take care of his stepmother and sisters, his egotistical wife, Fanny, easily dissuades him from giving them part of his inheritance. The Dashwoods are treated as unwanted guests in their own home, and soon begin to look for another place to live.
Mrs. Dashwood and her daughters soon march from Norland to Barton Cottage in Devonshire. His landlord is Sir John Middleton, a distant cousin who generously offers them a low rent. He lives in Barton Park with his wife, cold and elegant, and her children.
