Over-arching Themes
From the beginning, i liked very much how the story always followed Okonkwo, and how it wrapped up with him at the end too. How it told the story of his entire life was very moving and really helped to set up for the conflict at the end. It seemed that everything in the story went full circle. Many things turned around entirely. The ways of the tribe got completely changed from the way they started out, and Okonkwo was never going to disgrace himself or family intentionally at the beginning, but at the end he hanged himself. A very full book.

I think it's quite ironic how he always despised his father for being weak, disgraceful, poor, unfit, etc, then ended up killing himself. Isn't that a pretty weak way to leave everyone behind? Like father like son popped into my head at that point.
(I didn't read the earlier blog post saying the exact same thing before posting this....awkward.)
