the true failure

But work for Okonkwo was not the same. He did not have the passion he once had to work and when there was no work to do he stayed around silent and to himself. With help from his kinsman Okonkwo was able to push the years along and actually establish himself in Mbanta. But as the sun begins to shine just a little in Okonkwos life the hurricane moves back in. .
             Just as the seven years were ending Okonkwo and Nwoye have a showdown. With the Christian missionaries moving in on all the villages many began leaving the traditional culture and converting to Christianity. Christianity had caught Nwoye's eyes from the beginning but he hid it from fear of his father. Then one-day word was out that Nwoye had converted to Christianity and Okonkwo was not happy. When Nwoye returned home that day Okonkwo began to beat him but Nwoye got away and never returned. To Okonkwo Nwoye did not exist anymore. .
             The seven years were done and Okonkwo began to return to his village. He was returning with whatever salvage name he still had there, a compound and farm a friend of his put together for him, and most important he was returning a son short. Just as Okonkwo's life was falling apart so was his village. When he returned home it was not the same home that he had left. The missionaries had moved in there and had built churches. There was also a government established. Okonkwo did not like how his people allowed the white men to come into the village and take it over without a fight. When he voiced his opinion on the situation, many seem not to care because they had brought other perks, such as a trading post. .
             Okonkwo felt his people were acting like cowards and felt ashamed. He knew if he had never become exiled then his people would not be acting like this. If he had stayed in his village and continued to earn titles then they would have kicked the white men out along time ago and never allowed them to become established.
