As tension and conflict grow within the Congo, Anatole and Leah help ensure that the tragedy of the hunt is carried out among the Congo community in Barbara Kingsolver’s, The Poisonwood Bible. They come together in many different aspects and help influence each other to try to persuade the people of the Congo to agree with them. When Leah demands answers from Anatole on whether he thought she should be in the Congo, Anatole exclaimed that, “There are more words than no and yes” (Kingsolver 310), meaning that life itself has more answers than just yes and no.

If Anatole had never gotten her the bow to shoot with in the first place and helped argue Leah’s side, every community ideal that they had lived by for so long would have never been upturned for the worst. Overall, the hunt would have never gotten as out of control as it otherwise
