Okonkwo hates the Christian church. I'm not sure what kind of answer you're looking for, but I'd say he'd like to destroy the church, or burn it to the ground, etc.

How does obierika and okonkwo personalities differ?

Okonkwo sees the killing of Ikemefuna as proof of his manliness, his willing to sacrifice one who was like a child to him to the gods based on the Oracle's word. Okonkwo feels that Obierika should have fulfilled his duty to the tribe and gone on the death march as well. Obierika finds it shameful that Okonkwo should have been the one to kill Ikemefuna. Letting him be sacrificed is one thing, but taking part in the death march and doing the killing himself are different things entirely. Obierika feels that Okonkwo should not even have gone on the march.


What is a summary of Things Fall Apart?

Okonkwo is the epitome of the Ibo culture. He is a great warrior, and has many titles. In part one of the book it is giving background information about the culture, traditions, and beliefs of the people, and how Okonkwo represents that. At the end of part one he accidentally kills a young boy, and is exiled to his mothers homeland for seven years. In those seven years, the white missionaries come and try to convert people to their religion, and succeed in doing so with some people causing things to fall apart. In part three, it is apparent to the people of the clan that the white men had not only brought a religion but a government. Okonkwo and several others gather to plan a revolt, and messengers for the white men come and tell them to stop. Okonkwo kills the head messenger, and then for reasons the reader can only infer, hangs himself - an abomination to their people.
