TFA Chapter 19
In this chapter the main theme is that of kinship. Okonkwo has almost finished his sentence of exile, and he has a great feast where everyone from the tribe is invited. I believe Okonkwo has the feast not only because he wanted to pay the village back for taking him in, but he also makes the feast superb by flaunting his wealth and showing how successful he has been. In the end of this chapter one of the elders says that he "fears for the young because they do not understand how strong the bond of kinship" is. What does this closing paragraph foreshadow? What are some examples of the young people not understanding the strength of kinship?
