Chapter+15-19+EuniceC

In this part of reading, some mention of white men and Christianity is mentioned. As a Christian myself, this part was really interesting to me. I was kind of glad that Christianity was being spread throughout the village, but I did not agree with some of their approaches the missionaries made. Maybe understanding the villagers' cultures a bit more and not overwhelming them with new information could have helped more. I also wondered whether the author is a Christian himself. In some parts, Christians have the victory over other gods but in other parts, they are viewed quite negatively. Later on, as I keep reading, I would like to know about that more and see how Christianity impacts the villages.

Okonkwo changes a bit, but not by much. It could be seen as a very big progress for him to have named his child Nneka, which means 'mother is supreme'. However, that was only out of politeness to his mother's kinsmen. Other than that, he still grieves over that fact that he is on his exile, when he could be on the highest place in his former village. Also, his own concept of ' manliness' does not seem to have changed. When his son Nwoye joins the Christians, he ruthlessly breaks the relationship between them.

How should Okonkwo have behaved toward Nwoye joining the Christians in a modern point of view?
