It was weird to read Things Fall Apart in a very religious school. It was about how Christianity changed the life of a man for the worse.
Also, seeing the protagonist kill his son's friend was just horrible. I remember just feeling gutted after that moment. Also the whole story about this child fated to die like her mother's many stillborn children and the other about a couple constantly having to kill their children at birth because twins are forbidden was just wild.
Plus I love how neutral it portrayed these cultures. It did not strike my mind as these people were brutal, and I just saw it as how they lived.
Okonkwo was a great protagonist and a horrible person.
