Things Fall Apart Chapter 15

In this chapter, Obierika comes to visit Okonkwo. He brings him money from the yams in his previous village. Obierika also tells Okonkwo of the horrible fate of Abame, a neighboring tribe. A white man came to the village on a strange iron machine. The people talked to the Oracle who said that the white man would bring others and destroy the village. So, the villagers killed the white man and tied him to a tree. Later some white men came to the village and destroyed everthing and everyone. Okonkwo thought that Abame was stupid for not trying to defend themselves. I believe that the white men will be important in the rest of the book. They keep coming up in the story.
