What did Obierika think about after the calamity in Things Fall Apart?

Answer 1

After Okonkwo's exile:Obierika thought it did not make sense to punish a man for an accident. Also, he thought about twins his wife had borne who were killed and thrown away. However, he also thought that if punishment was not exacted for an offense, it would bring a stain to the clan.

Eg, one possible example is that people might get away with crimes by pretending that they were accidents, and not getting punished.

After Abame's slaughter:

He thought that a great evil had come upon Mbanta and their land, also affecting their sacred lake and its fish. He also thought the village of Mbanta had paid for their foolishness. He further thought that the stories of the white men had not been true, but they must be now.

After Nwoye arrives in Umuofia after having left his family:

Obierika wonders what has happened between Nwoye and Okonkwo.

After the white men begin encroaching on the tribal lands:

Obierika thinks it is too late to fight against the white men as they have already recruited other clansmen to their side. To fight the white men would be to fight clansman, which would be unthinkable.

After Okonwko and the men are set free from their imprisonment:

Obierika thinks his friend has been badly mistreated and must eat to regain his strength.

After Okonkwo hangs himself:

Obierika thinks that the white men drove Okonwko to kill himself. Obierika is besides himself with grief.
