my life
The Ibo tribe’s culture has slowly drifted away and same goes for Okonkwo as a person. Ever since the missionaries came, the culture has fell apart. This is exactly why the collision of the Ibo culture and the missionaries create a great change in Okonkwo’s identity.
The collision in the cultures starts off first when the missionaries come to the tribe. “At first the clan had assumed that it would not survive. But it had gone on living and getting stronger.” This showing that the church getting stronger foreshadows a bad event in the loss of culture and Okonkwo. Another example, “The white missionary, who was very firm in restraining his flock from provoking the wrath of the clan.” Shows how Mr. Brown was helping the church grow causing the culture of the tribe to lower down.
Okonkwo indefinites the collision with hate through many of ways.
One of the ways are, “Okonkwo’s machete descended twice and the mans head lay beside his uniformed body.” This shows the hate that flowing through Okonkwo because of the missionaries. Another way Okonkwo identifies hate is, “Okonkwo was choked with hate” this completely shows how full of hate he was because of how he wanted to kill a white man.
Okonkwo’s reaction to the change of the culture was very intense and depressing, because his hate and pride over comes him. First, “We should of killed the white man if you had listened to me, Okonkwo snarled.” This shows his hate for the clan of the white men. Okonkwo’s main reaction to all this was how his death occurred, “Then they came to the tree from which Okonkwo’s body was dangling…” overall Okonkwo’s reactions where very deep.
The Ibo cultures identity fell apart and same goes along with Okonkwo. Okonkwo faced hate many of times and so as for pride. Pride overcame him and the tribe. The collision of the Ibo tribe and the missionaries creates a great change in his identity throughout many of ways.
