"The white man is very clever. He came quietly and peaceably with his religion. We were amused at his foolishness and allowed him to stay. Now he has won our brothers, and our clan can no longer act like one. He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart."
To me this quote explains the whole book, it tells you Okonkwo side of it anyways, but i think that it is no one fault but the clans' fault because if they were not already in turmoil then the "white men" wouldn't be able to take over in the first place.
