entry 27
page of reflection:172
It was quite clear that Okonkwo didn't like any of the teachings
from the Christians but not only that what he most hated was his on clan turning
on him. One of these converts being his son Nwoye, well actually Okonkwo didn't
consider him his son anymore, which is sad because his son seems more happier
now. For this reason, Okonkwo asked all his sons to come into his obi to talk
about Nwoye. His four sons came in, the youngest being four, listening to their
father who had spoke quite frankly about how he felt about Nwoye. Okonkwo
told all his sons that if any of them where to turn on him, to turn on him while
he was alive. If they turned on him when he was dead he would come after them
when he was a spirit an anger to get them. If Okonkwo is telling this to his sons
even the youngest that is four we know that he was very serious about the matter.
Okonkwo didn't want any of his sons to turn on him and not adore his ancestors or
himself for the matter.
