Things Fall Apart: Chapter 24

The leaders are released. That is enough for Okonkwo. Anyone has read the rest of the book up to this point can guess his next course of action. Obviously, he is out for revenge. When the clan meets, he is ready to go to war, with or without them. Part way through the meeting, white messengers arrive and told the gatherers to disperse. Okonkwo kills one, and surprisingly, the others are let go. Okonkwo automatically takes this as the clan will not go to war with the white men and departs quite angrily. To some extent, I found this amusing. On the other hand, now the tribe members are confusing me. One minute it seems like they are on one side, the next minute they are on the other side. One chapter left, guess I'm goning to find out soon.
