Chapter 25: When the District Commissioner arrives at Okonkwo’s compound, he finds a small group of men sitting outside. He asks for Okonkwo, and the men tell him that Okonkwo is not at home. The men ask again Obierika tells them the same thing once again. The man begins to get angry and threatens to send him to prison if he does not show him where Okonkwo is. Obierika takes him to Okonkwo where the find his body dangling from a tree. He hung himself. Obierika tells them about suicide being and tells them they can't touch his body.

Prove your belief that Okonkwo's choice to commit suicide was or was not the only plausible ending for his tragic life. Use the history of the Igbo people, Okonkwo's interaction with the other important characters, the proverbs and stories belonging to the Igbo culture, as well as your own beliefs to write a final 450 word blog post as the final posting of your personal blog. I definitely think there was a better way to end the story. I don't think that he hurt a lot of people doing this. I think maybe the only people he may have hurt was his family and friend Obierika. I was kind of confused on why he did kill himself he could've run away or something else. You would think he wouldn't stoop that low and kill himself considering that he doesn't want to be seen as weak. Killing himself like that was basically saying he couldn't handle what was yet to come which is very weak. He should've been a strong leader and pushed through. By killing himself he also killed a well, respected leader of the clan with three wives and children and also a high position because of all the things he had done.
