In Okonkwo's eyes, his life had been ruined. Do you feel sorry for him? Why or why not? Was excommunication from the clan an appropriate punishment? Why or why not? Do you think Okonkwo takes appropriate responsibility for his choices? Why or why not?
Honestly, I do sort of feel sorry for Okonkwo because yes, he did choose to fire the gun, but he did not intentionally mean to kill or even hurt anybody. I do not think that Okonkwo should have been kicked or shunned from the clan because he didn't mean to kill the dead mans 16 year old son so if he did it on purpose maybe he should have been excommunication from the clan but since it wasn't his fault that someone died he should not have been because he was just having fun firing the gun but it wasn't suppose to fire at a human. I think that he does take appropriate responsibility for his choices because he was told to get out of the clan and he did so without complaining or anything, he just took his stuff and left.
