silent awe
open-hearted camaraderie
The symbols of "fire" and "ash" represent
Uchendu and Okonkwo
Ikemefuna and Nwoye
Ezinma and Ekwefi
Okonkwo and Nwoye
The first major conflict between converts and the rest of the clan occurs when
Nwoye leaves his father's household
Mr. Kiaga orders the osu to shave their heads
the converts boast that the gods are dead and impotent
a clansmen kills a missionary
The people of Mbanta treat the news of the white man's government as
unsubstantiated rumor
a sign that they want to make peace
a sign of things to come
a threat of war
The taboo of the osu is difficult to overcome primarily because it
has both social and religious implications
is one of the oldest traditions of the clan
involves men of high status and title
means they will have to shave their heads
By contrast to Okeke's argument, Okonkwo's argument for how the elders should respond to the killing of the python shows that Okonkwo
has faith in the power of the gods
views the violation as a personal affront
witnessed the alleged crime
does not respect Mr. Kiaga
The elders of Mbanta cannot decide a punishment for killing the sacred python because
the vote is split by Okonkwo's arguments
they fear repercussions from the white man's government
the spirit of wars was upon them
no one witnessed the alleged crime
The punishment that the elders decide upon is aimed primarily at
defending the honor of the gods
dividing the community of converts
separating themselves from the offenders
forcing the offender to confess
The death of Okoli is taken as a sign that
the elders' punishment should remain in effect
Mr. Kiaga must be ostracized from the clan
the python is poisonous
the gods have handled the matter themselves
Despite their generosity, Okonkwo still views his kinsmen as
feminine and weak
frivolous and improvident
callous and unwelcoming
closefisted and stoic
Okonkwo throws the feast in order to
flaunt his wealth
thank his kinsmen before he leaves
appease the earth goddess
forge a bond of friendship with his mother's people
Ekwefi's lament over the "poor soil"
unknowingly mirrors Okonkwo's own laments
foreshadows coming struggles
reminds Ezinma to be more grateful
symbolizes Ezinma's growth into a young woman
At the feast, Uchendu advises the young men to
work hard to grow their wealth
take up arms against the missionaries
remember the importance of family bonds
accept the osu as equals
