Thoughts on Things Fall Apart #2

     As I read further into the second and third part of this book it became much more interesting. Seeing the development in characters and the Igbo society itself is something completely different as what it was before. One of the things that surprised me the most was the fact that a lot of the Igbo  people very quickly voluntarily converted to the new religion. I would have expected that they maybe fight for their culture and what was theirs a bit harder. Although some did not agree with what was happening others just agreed with the new British ways. One of the main characters who made a quick conversion was Nwoye. Nwoye was one of the most interesting characters to me because of the way he thought differently from most of the Igbo society. You can see clearly how he has different perspectives when he decides to convert to Christianity and leave behind his Igbo culture. He never truly understood why some actions made men weak and why there was killings for many innocent people. He always questioned his culture and Okonkwo’s actions so he decided to end that and just be  something new when the British came in. Of course lastly, the most shocking thing to occur was Okonkwo’s death. Okonkwo ended up killing himself at the end of the book which was very sad. Although, it was very sad because of the way he lived thinking of being strong and masculine and that being weak was something bad. All along he was weak inside until it came to the point that he just had too much inside him and he just decided to end it all.
