Part
3: Chapter 20-22
Chapter
20:
As soon as Okonkwo had left the clan someone else had replaced him by taking
over his spot. Okonkwo had lost his place among the nine masked spirits who
administered justice. In the clan he lost the chance to lead warlike clan
against the new religion, and lost the years in which he might have taken the
highest titles in the clan. Ezinma grew
up as one of the most beautiful girls in Mbanta. Many young men and prosperous
middle-aged men of Mbanta came to marry her. She had refused every last one of
them, because her father choose that she should marry in Umuofia. Umuofia had
changed a lot when Okonkwo was in exile. The church had taken come and led many
astray. Ogbuefi Ugonna had taken two titles but he left all that behind just to
join the Christians.
Chapter
21:
One of the great man, Akunna, had given his sons to be taught the white man's
knowledge in Mr. Brown 's school. Whenever Mr. Brown went to that village he
spent long hours with Akunna in his obi
talking through an interpreter about religion. Mr. Brown built a school and a
little hospital in Umuofia because he came to the conclusion that a frontal
attack on it would not succeed. He went from family begging people to send
their children to his school. What had really convince them to come was the
speaking Mr. Brown told them. He had told them that " the leaders of the
land in the future would be men and woman who had learned to read and write. If
the people in strangers would come from other places to rule them."
Chapter
22:
Enoch had tore off one of the spirits mask. The other egwugwu had to
immediately surround around him to shield him from the profane gaze of women
and children while leading him away. Enoch had killed an ancestral spirit by
his actions and because of that Umuofia was thrown in confusion.
