"Then they came to the tree from which Okonkwo's body was dangling, and they stopped dead." p.g.207
I think the that the fact that Okonkwo hung himself really emphasizes the pain he was in. He took away all of his honor just to end the pain. This does not really fit Okonkwo's character. I would have expect him to go out fighting for something he though was right, like attacking the church compound or something. This is so unlike him it's like he was so desperate that he didn't know what else to do. I feel bad for his family because he just left them all alone in these hard times. He took the cowards way out.
