Things Fall Apart Chapter 19

Finally, the seven year period of exile is coming to an end. Before he leaves, Okonkwo decides to have a feast for the entire village. He wants to thank them for all of their help and courtesy. The people go to the feast and cannot believe how much food there is. They complement Okonkwo all night. Okonko is thankful but still regrets not being able to get a higher position in his own tribe. Now that seven years has passed, Okonkwo thinks of ways to regain his status. His daughter is beautiful, and he thinks that a good marriage will regain his position in the village. At the end of the feast, there is also talk of christianity and how it is taking over the villages.
