How did Chielo carry Ezinma to Agbala?
Chielo takes Ezinma to see Agbala. She goes around the 9 villages, into the cave of the shrine of the Oracle of Hills and Caves, and then back to Ezinma's bed to sleep.
In the book Things Fall Apart what did Chielo want with Ezinma?
Chielo wanted to take Ezinma to be seen by Agbala. In honesty, Chielo may have just been lonely, as she was a widow who only had 2 children of her own, not a great family. She had taken a particular fondness with Ezinma, calling her 'my daughter'.
Why does Agbala want to see Eznima?
This is not explicitly mentioned, but Chielo and Ezinma do go around all 9 villages of the Igbo and then back to Chielo's cave.
What is the relationship between Chielo and Ekwefi?
Chielo is friends with Ekwefi, and they get along well. Chielo sometimes gives bean cakes to Ekwefi to give to Ezinma. However, when Chielo becomes the priestess, she becomes like a completely separate person with no empathetic relationship with Ekwefi. Ekwefi is afraid of this incarnation of Chielo.
What role did Chika and Chielo take in Things Fall Apart?
Chielo helps show some of the religious culture of the Igbo. Further, her story serves as a way to reinforce the Ezinma-Ekwefi ties, as well as make Okonkwo out to be a more sympathetic character, despite his harsh outwards demeanour.
