 * Brilliant Idea**
 * 1) Achebe introduces the European colonial only in the last third of the novel because Achebe builds emotion between the characters in the novel and the reader so that when he introduces the Europeans, the reader sympathises towards the Umuofia society, achieving and supporting Achebe’s purpose of writing the novel.
 * 2) In the traditional Umofia society, the justice system is based around old respective men and is based on subjective judgement, as for the white man's law, it is based on a strict set of laws and is more objective.
 * 3) In the course of following Okonkwo's tragedy, we have learned a great deal about Igbo life. Now we know that the culture depicted in the novel is a culture that in many ways no longer exists.


 * Significant Quotes**
 * 1) "The growing feelings was due to Mr Brown, the white missionary, who was very firm in restraining his flock from provoking the wrath of the clan." (130)
 * 2) "The village was astir in a silent, suppressed way." (144)
 * 3) "Then they came to the tree from which Okonkwo's body was dangling, and they stopped dead." (151)
