What evidence is there in chapter 15 of Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe that the clans do not understand the white mans way of life?

Answer 1

In Chapter 15 of "Things Fall Apart," the misunderstanding between the Igbo clans and the white man's way of life is evident when the villagers respond to the arrival of the missionaries with suspicion and hostility. The clan members fail to grasp the missionaries' intentions and beliefs, viewing them as a threat to their traditional customs and authority. This cultural clash highlights their inability to comprehend the underlying motivations and complexities of the white man's worldview, which ultimately contributes to the disintegration of their society.
