Chapter 23

I don't think that Okonkwo is really that happy. I mean the village is now on its guard, but the christians are still there. I have lost respect now for the missionaries. They tricked the African leaders into leaving their weapons and then arresting them. The christians plan on killing the leaders unless bail is payed. I think this action was a huge mistake on the part of the missionaries. Before the African people were separated on the issue, but this event will probably reunite a large group. I think that there is going to be an uprising because I have a feeling the white men will not honor the bail and keep the leaders in jail or kill them anyway. If this does happen, I think the old warring nation will return, and the christians will have a fight ahead of them. I knew that white soldiers would be brought in after the church was burnt down. Okonkwo is going to lose his temper and do something that is going to get him in a lot of trouble. I think that he will kill a white missionary, and the soldiers will come to take him away to be killed. I doubt Okonkwo will let them do that, but how he avoids this I am not sure yet.
