Only Obierika's reaction is shown in Things Fall Apart. Obierika is driven to despiar and anger at the District Commissioner and his men. He considers Okonkwo one of the greatest men in Umuofia.

Okonkwo rejects living in a world where he would have to sacrifice his pride and demean himself before a greater colonial power.
