Okonkwo is the guardian of Ikemefuna, who lives with Okonkwo's family and sees him as a second father. Okonkwo has affection for him, but he does not show it so as not to appear weak before the other members of the tribe. So much so, that when the Oracle determines that Ikemefuna must die, Okonkwo is the one who kills him despite not having the obligation to do so, to demonstrate this strength to the rest.

Society, in general. In essence, Shakespeare aims to say we are all just pretending in front of other people, like a facade. We will have our moments and our downs. The “one man pays many parts” can be how a person can pretend to be something they are not to get others to like them. Like trying to fit in one group, you’ll pretend to be into what they are or etc. Can be applied in the dating scene, friendships, work and other forms of social life.
