Things Fall Apart

Chapters 24 and 25 pages 198 - 209

Obierika says of Okonkwo "That man was one of the greatest in Umuofia" (208). How does the local preception of Okonkwo compare with the District Commissioner's preception of him at the end of the novle?

Obierika says bitterly to the DC that Okonkwo was one of the greatest men of Umuofia. Because of the white man, he has been driven to suicide and will be buried like an animal.... the DC, in turn, thinks that Okonkwo's death with make an interesting story in his book.
