Immediately after he commits the murder, the narrator feels very calm and confident, he describes the whole situation in which he disarmed the body:

<em>First I cut off the  head, then the arms and the legs. I  was careful not to let a single drop  of blood fall on the floor. I pulled  up three of the boards that formed  the floor, and put the pieces of the  body there. Then I put the boards  down again, carefully, so carefully  that no human eye could see that  they had been moved.</em>

Then, while he is talking to the officers, he starts feeling guilty, so guilty that he imagines the sound of the heart beating. He thinks that the officers can also hear the sound and that they are setting a trap. He ends up confessing the murder:

<em>No! They heard! I was certain of it. They knew! Now it was they  who were playing a game with me. I was suffering more than I could  bear, from their smiles, and from that sound. Louder, louder, louder!  Suddenly I could bear it no longer. I pointed at the boards and cried,  “Yes! Yes, I killed him. Pull up the boards and you shall see! I killed  him. But why does his heart not stop beating?! Why does it not stop!?</em>

A. How do the men react to<br><br> Okonkwo's harsh words towards<br><br> Osugo? [RL 10.6)
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

In the story, Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe,

In Chapter 4, in the scenario wherein Okonkwo belittled a man who contradicted what he says, he threw hard and harsh words at the man named Osugo. This Okonkwo's attitude was seen and witnessed by the men in the clan present in the Kindred meeting and it does not please them, yet they are shocked and did not allow Okonkwo to act like that, as they took side with Osugo.

Explanation:

Why?

In Chapter Four (4) of the story Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, Okonkwo, the main character in the story has encountered a man named Osugo. It is during a kindred meeting wherein Okonkwo belittled those members of the clan who were less successful. Osugo, one of those less fortunate men, can't stand the rudeness and harshness of Okonkwo and speak against him. Though Osugo acknowledges the successful life of Okonkwo which he achieved through hard work and patience, in his perspective, it is not enough to embarrass and degrade people who are not his level.

Therefore, Okonkwo with his pride, spoken saying "This meeting is for men" which implies that he humiliates Osugo as not a man and not should be in the clan. This attitude of Okonkwo struck and upset people, especially the men who heard the humiliation. The men reacted taking the side of the other man Osugo. In short, they stand against Okonkwo's attitude, and the oldest man take part reminding Okonkwo to not forget to be humble despite of his success.
