"His life had been ruled by great passion -- to become one of the lords of the clan. That had been his life-spring. And he all but achieved it. Then everything had been broken. He had been cast out of his clan like a fish onto a dry, sandy beach, painting" (131)
In Okonkwo's eyes, his life had been ruined. Do you feel sorry for him? Why or Why not? Was excommunication from the clan an appropriate punishment? Why or why not? Do you think Okonkwo takes appropriate responsibility for his choices? Why/Why not?
