In this chapter, after killing the messenger Okonkwo realizes that there is no way the village will go to war. Finally, someone comes looking for Okonkwo and they find his body hanging from a tree. This ending was completely unexpected. I thought for sure that Okonkwo was going to go on a killing rampage. I never expected him to kill himself, especially after the advice that he was given earlier on in the book. I do not really feel bad for him. I do not no if I really liked this book or not. I think it just really frustrated me because of what Okonkwo was like. I do understand though, that this is probably normal behavior for his area.
