Storyboard Tekst

  • Chapter 2
  • And In fairness to Umuofia it should be recorded that it never went to war unless its case was clear and just and just and was accepted as such by its Oracle- the Oracle of the Hills and the Caves.
  • Chapter 2
  • Near the barn was a small house, the 'medicine house' or shrine where Okonkwo kept the wooden symbols of his personal god and of his ancestral spirits. He worshipped them with sacrifices of kola-nut, food and palm-wine, and offered prayers to them on behalf of himself, his three wives and eight children.
  • Chapter 15
  • “He was not an albino. He was quite different…And he was riding an iron horse. The first people who saw him ran away, but he stood beckoning to them. In the end the fearless ones went near and even touched him. The elders consulted their Oracle and it told them that the strange man would break their clan and spread destruction among them. Obierika again drank a little of his wine. And so they killed the white man and tied his iron horse to their sacred tree because it looked as if it would run away to call the man’s friends.”
  • This quote shows that because of their religion that they will not go to war if their Oracle says they won’t. The Oracle in their religion makes decisions for the village and they won’t disobey it for they think they will be punished severely.
  • Chapter 16
  • At this point an old man said he had a question. “Which is this god of yours,” he asked, “the goddess of the earth, the god of the sky, Amadiora or the thunderbolt, or what?”The interpreter spoke to the white man and he immediately gave his answer. “All the gods you have named are not gods at all. They are gods of deceit who tell you to kill your fellows and destroy innocent children. There is only one true God and He has the earth, the sky, you and me and all of us.”
  • This quote shows that every person in the Igbo society has a personal god that they worship along with the rest of the gods. They make special houses for their personal gods and they make sacrifices to these gods.
  • Chapter 22
  • That night the Mother of the Spirits walked the length and breadth of the clan, weeping for her murdered son. It was a terrible night. Not even the oldest man in Umuofia had ever heard such a strange and fearful sound, and it was never to be heard again. It seemed as if the very soul of the tribe wept for a great evil that was coming – its own death.
  • This quote shows that the Igbos have so much faith in their Oracle that they believe what she says is true and they end up killing the white man that arrived with his horse and tying the horse up because they thought it would try to tell the other white men.
  • Chapter 24
  • “They are not,” he said. “They have broken the clan and gone their several ways. We who are here this morning have remained true to our fathers, but our brothers have deserted us and joined a stranger to soil their fatherland. If we fight the stranger we shall hit our brothers and perhaps shed the blood of a clansman. But we must do it. Our fathers never dreamed of such a thing, they never killed their brothers. But a white man never came to them. So we must do what our fathers would never have done.”
  • This quote shows that there is a big difference between the Igbo religion and the white man religion. The Igbo say that they have a lot of gods and the white man says there is only one. This shows the major difference between the two.
  • This quote shows that the Igbos religion was affected by this event and they were saddened by it. Based on their religion they think that they shouldn’t unmask an egwugwu and if one was they think as if the spirit died.
  • This quote shows the sorrow that the people in the clan have because a lot of the religious things have been broken and many people have left the clan to be with the white missionaries. They also say that even though they shouldn’t kill their brothers they think they will have to because they are with the white men.
