At the meeting, Okonkwo is ready to speak. He is worried that Egonwanne, a pacifist and powerful orator, will sway the people to peace. He resolves to fight, even if he must fight alone. The first man to speak is Okika, one of the six who was imprisoned. He begins a powerful speech on the necessity of action. They must fight, even against the Christian converts. They must resist before it is too late.
