"Okonkwo's fear was greater than these. It was not external but lay deep within himself. It was the fear of himself, lest he should be found to resemble his father" pg13
This really gives me a good picture of what Okonkwo is like as a character. I see him as determined and proud. This fear strove him above and beyond what his father had in order to create a better life for himself and his son. But as for the not being external thing, I think it is external. You can tell he fears being like his father by how hard he works and the effort he puts into becoming a wealthy man who can provide for his family.
