At this point in the story we learn more about the customs within the compound and specifically about the relationships between Okonkwo and his wives, the wives and their children, and the children and Okonkwo. In each of these relationships one character sticks out to me, that is Ezinma. How is her relationship to her mother and to Okonkwo different than other characters within the story? How is it similar? What conclusions can we make based off of these comparisons?
Also, on page 41, Ezinma is told that she will "see something" because her eye is twitching. Could this be foreshadowing Ezinma's role as a witness? Or is it simply, just a reminder of the wrestling match to come?
And if, for some reasons, there is extra time....
What is Ikemefuna's role withing the family?
How and why does Obiageli serve as a foil to Ezinma?
