In this novel’s final chapter, a group of men is led past a “little round hole in the red-earth wall” by a man who repeatedly asks “perhaps your men can help us.” This novel’s protagonist realizes that people “would not go to war” after he attacks a man who came to stop a town meeting. This novel ends with a character pondering whether a man might be subject of “perhaps not a whole chapter but a reasonable (*) paragraph” in “The Pacification of the Primitive Tribes,” a book being written by the District Commissioner. A character in this novel who spends seven years in exile for killing Ezeudu’s (“eh-zay-OO-doo’s”) son eventually hangs himself in the town of Umuofia (“oo-moo-OH-fee-uh”).
