Significant Points: 1. after Okonkwo's 7 years of rather painful exile, he was extremely hopeful for rebuilding his future in Umofia, that he had already asked his friends to build two huts even before his exile time was over. This situation is mirrored in his fatherland when his son Nwoye converted to Christianity. He is angered and saddened greatly by his son's decision to betray him, but he shifts his disappointment to his 5 remaining sons, who he believes will continue to uphold his honor.

Significant Quote: 1. "We say he is foolish because he does not know our ways, and perhaps he says we are foolish because we do not know his."
