Answer:

I believe that in order to assess the punishment of Okonkwo, one must position oneself in the perspective of a clansman. When you first join a clan, you must abide by a highly strict set of rules and norms. The notion that any violation of this behavior may result in harsh punishment is well recognized. Therefore, the banishment of Okonkwo and his family might look reasonable to a person that is connected in the clan itself. Because the clansmen spared his life rather than kill him as punishment, the banishment may look kind.

Step-by-step explanation:

This your question, if so, see above answer.

The punishment for Okonkwo's offence is to be exiled to his mother village. Do you feel that the punishment fits the crime? What are your thoughts on the nature and fairness of the penalty Okonkwo has to pay?

Don't forget to change some words to avoid plagiarism. :)
