Answer to the question

Okonkwo was "one of the greatest men in Umuofia"(pg.208), has killed himself. I do think that it was the worst choice to have. In my opinion, suicide is not a very good choice that he has made. The Igbo people knew that Okwonkwo was strong, and very wise. However, to notice that he has killed himself will lower their self-esteem, loosing hope to regain their own culture. When the white men hears the death of Okonkwo, I think that they'll gain hope that they'll rule over the Ibo people. The Ibo people loosing everything loosing their strongest supporter of their culture. I think that Okonkwo's best choice should have been death while revolting against the white men, although they had drove Okonkwo to kill himself. One shouldn't kill oneself, although life is bitter, it should die with dignity, not with depression.
