Does Things Fall Apart present a one-dimensional perspective of white people or a holistic and accurate one?
The white colonists are not shown to be either pure evil or pure good. Their actions unintentionally harm the way of life of the Ibo, but at the same time the white people appear to give hope to many of the Ibo who are marginalized by their culture. The priest Mr. Brown took on an accommodating role, seeming to genuinely try to serve the Ibo through 'enlightenment.' Some of the colonists (particularly the soldiers and the commissioner) are completely unsympathetic to the Ibo and consider them to be uncivilized or barbaric, which is an accurate depiction of generalized European mindsets at the time.

Why do you suppose oknkwo kills the messenger?
Okonkwo killed the messenger because he knew that something needed to be done. He was, in fact, a man of action and that is exactly what he did. He feared the change of his culture and religion. Once the missionaries told them what to do and no one stood up for their own beliefs, Okonkwo had had enough and took action. But when he heard the people around him ask, "Why did he do that?" he walked away with the feeling of despair. He knew from that point on that the Ibo culture was no longer in existence.
