Wow, Nwoye converted to christianity. I would have thought that Okonkwo would have prohibited him from doing this. It is understandable that Nwoye would convert only because he began to question his faith when he hears the twins crying in the forest and Ikemefuna is killed. The majority of teens question their faith which did not help the matter either. I guess Nwoye must really want to upset his father. That is the last thing that Okonkwo would want to happen, and I think that Nwoye knew that.
I think that this is just another thing in Okonkwo's spiral downward. I really do not expect things to get much better for him, but I could be wrong. For some reason, I get the idea that he is close to just giving up. I do think that Obierika is helping Okonkwo to keep going, but I don't think that that will work for that long either. The only positive is that Okonkwo is almost halfway through his exile because it has now been 3 out of the 7 years. I just wonder what his fatherland will think of him when and if he tries to return after his five years.
