What did Okonkwo often say about Ezinma?
Okonkwo often said that Ezinma was his favorite daughter and that she had the spirit of a boy. He admired her resilience and intelligence, and believed she would bring him great pride and honor in the future.
Why does Okonkwo say that Ezinma should have been a boy?
Okonkwo believes that Ezinma possesses traits associated with male strength and courage, such as perseverance and intelligence. He sees these qualities as more valuable and suited for success in the Ibo society he lives in, and therefore wishes Ezinma had been born a boy.
Is it surprising that Ezinma can have such sympathy for her father when he is so harsh?
For myself no, though it may be to other people. Billions of people idolize strong harsh leaders, sometimes perhaps foolishly.
What is Ekwefi's story?
Ekwefi was a woman who loved wrestling, and fell in love with Okonkwo when she saw him throw Amalinze the Cat. She wanted to marry Okonkwo, but at the time, Okonkwo was too poor to marry. She ended up marrying another man, Anene, but after a couple years she ran away from him during the night to Okonkwo. Okonkwo took her and made love to her in his obi. Ekwefi became Okonkwo's second wife. Her love of wrestling remained. She bore child after child, but they all died during their early years until she had Ezinma. She treated her daughter Ezinma like a sister, as an equal. She continued to have children with Okonkwo, and fathered at least 10 children with him. Ekwefi often drew Okonkwo's rage, and was beaten by him occasionally. After one particular beating near the Festival of Yams, she made fun of Okonkwo's lack of prowess with a gun. This remark earned her a near-death experience, as Okonkwo discharged the gun at her, but did not end up hitting her. During one day, her daughter Ezinma was taken by the oracle Agbala's representative Chielo late at night. Worried for her daughter, she risked the wrath of the Gods by secretly following Chielo around the nine villages and back to her cave home where she communed with Agbala, all in very low light. Her daughter Ezinma also came down with the Iba or fever one day. She feared for Ezinma's death, but Ezinma managed to be healed by her father, Okonkwo. After Ezinma's iwi-uya was found, she felt much more relieved. Ekwefi continued to stay with Okonkwo, following him in exile to Mbanta, and then back home to Umuofia.
