Chapter 20: Okonkwo has been planning for a long time to rebuil his compound on a larger scale. He also wants two more wives and title for his sons. I also forgot to mention that because Nwoye converted to christianity, Okonkwo disowned him as a son. I know that was a surprising thing for Nwoye to do but I don't think Okonkwo should've taken it that far. But being the way he is I could see him doing that. But like I said earlier maybe this is what the spirits of the Evil Forest want, because they aren't doing anything to the church for being there. A lot of things have changed since Okonkwo has been gone. He is shocked that the clan has no run the church and its people away. Okonkwo observes that the white man is very shrewd because he came in peace and appeared to have only benevolent interests in the Africans, who thus permitted him to stay. They discuss the story of Aneto, who was hanged by the government after he killed a man with whom he had a dispute.
