Janita.Henry.+HeRa.TFA


 * Insightful Points**
 * Okonkwo is too afraid of others' judgments in thinking that he is weak to fully express his true emotions and vulnerable side. (Okonkwo's fear of "womanly" emotions can be compared to Lady Macbeth)
 * The enforced murder of Ikemefuna expresses their fear for the outsiders which foreshadows the destruction upon the arrival of the 'white' people.
 * The reaction to the arrival of the locusts is ironic because locusts will destroy the crops however the people are happy because they are able to eat the locusts.


 * Significant Sentences**
 * "She should have been a boy," Okonkwo said to himself again. (64)
 * "How can a man who has killed give men in battle fall to prices because he has added a boy to their number? Okonkwo, you have become a woman indeed." (65)
