Okonkwo kills 5 warriors while in war with other villages. He later kills his 'adopted' son, Ikemefuna. He accidentally kills Ekeudu's son at Ekeudu's funeral. Near the end of the book, he kills a messenger who demanded the village stop their meeting. Finally, he kills himself.
Uchendu calls Okonkwo in for a meeting with him, and uses his authority to subtlely shame Okonkwo for his behaviour. Firstly, he explains the meaning of the motherland, and makes it seem as if going back to the Motherland is not a punishment as much as it is a respite from the evils that plague man. He tells Okonkwo that other men have had greater suffering and that his is not as bad as he makes it out to be. Further, he tells Okonkwo that he must survive to go home so that he does not trap his family in the mother land. He plays on Okonkwo's manly pride to ensure that Okonkwo will behave properly and with spirit.
The clan had changed much the last 7 years. The new religion, government, and trading stores were the talk of the town, overshadowing the availability of his two beautiful daughters.

Okonkwo believes that direct action is needed to get rid of the Christians. He believes they should be removed from Mbanta by force if necessary.

Their actions were a cleansing the land, which it was believed that Okonkwo had polluted.

Okonkwo does several things to do this:He is not humble, and puts down an agbala at a meeting.He breaks the week of peace by beating his wife.
