1.) The British are aware of the corruption they cause, but they believe that the end result, "civilization", will be worth it. Do you agree with "the end justifies the means" concept the British use? Why or why not?
2.) What does one do when all seems lost, and do you think that suicide should be an option?
3.) Can peace or harmony be achieved from violence?
4.) Why do you think the people of Umuofia maintain the belief that the egwugwu are gods when they are clearly masked humans?
5.) Do you think that Okonkwo is destined for tragedy, or was it his own free will that led him to his death?
6.) Is commiting suicide a cowardly or a brave act? Even for a nobel cause, is suicide beneficial to anyone?
7.) As the novel progresses, the reader sees that elders despair the destruction of their traditions/lifestyle, due to the fact that it will tear their kinmanship apart. Can Umuofia have different backgrounds/religions/lifestyle and yet still be united?
