Journal+7-CH

I was very shocked with the decision that Okonkwo had chose at the end of the book and I don't think Okonkwo had made the best decision. All of Okonkwo's life, status and manliness were the only things that he had sought for. And the decision he had chose to made was surely not manly but rather pitiful and in Okonkwo's case- "womanly." After all, this made me think that Okonkwo could not get away from his father. Just like his fathers saying, Okonkwo had gone through the most dreadful experience of failing all alone. Okonkwo had lived and dedicated all his life with the definition of "manliness" and should have maintained that until his last breath on the land of Ibo. **
