Important Moments in Things Fall Apart

The most important events in my events include:
1. Okonkwo killing Uzendu's son by accident
2. When the missionaries arrive to Umafia
3. Building the church and conversions

I believe these are really crucial moments in the play. Firstly when Okonkwo kills Uzendu by accidentally firing his gun and the bullet hits the son, the result of this is Okonkwo's family being banished to Mbanata. When they are away this gives great opportunity for havoc to wreak in Umafia as their leader is now gone. We do this happen when the missionaries arrive to Umafia. They take advantage and the whites start forcing their ideologies and christian beliefs to the people of Umafia. With the building of churches and ideas being spread, this catches the attention of Nwyoe (Okonkwo's son) after being threatened by his father, left his house and converted. He then ended up even changing his name to Isaac. This represents and shows the influence that the missionaries have had on Nigeria and how their ideologies are being spread in a rapidly fashion.
