Why is it surprising for okonkwo to arrive at the cave and tell ekwefi to go home?
It is surprising for Okonkwo to tell Ekwefi to go home because he typically displays a more dominating and controlling attitude towards others, especially his wives. Asking Ekwefi to go home shows a rare moment of vulnerability and concern for her safety, as the cave where they hear the "evil forest" drum is associated with danger.

Who appears in front of Ekwefi as she waits tearfully outside Agbala's cave?
Okonkwo appears suddenly before dawn. He decides to wait with Ekwefi outside the Oracle's cave. Subtly, Okonkwo could be considered to be waiting for both Ekwefi and Ezinma, as he might consider it unmanly to wait for Ezinma, but would consider it manly to support Ekwefi as she waited for their daughter. Eventually both the priestess and Ezinma appear.
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.
Who follows Chielo and Ezinma?
In Chinua Achebe's novel "Things Fall Apart," it is Okonkwo who follows Chielo and Ezinma during their journey to the Oracle. Okonkwo is Ezinma's father and he accompanies them to the shrine to ensure Ezinma's safety.
How did Okonkwo treat Ezinma?
Ezinma is aware that Okonkwo loves her mother. She clearly looks up to her father, and is willing to take his advice, while at the same time being aware of his fierce temper and overall manliness. There are times when she can stand no one else but him.
What does Ekwefi do after Chielo took Ezinma?
Ekwefi follows Chielo as she goes to the other village and finally back to her cave. She then waits outside the cave, not daring to invoke the god's wrath upon herself. While she is following Chielo and Ezinma, Ekwefi tries to take care not to be discovered by Chielo, and thus displease the gods.
How does Okonkwo protect his pride when Ezinma is taken?
Okonkwo pretends not to be overly concerned, and goes back into his hut, knowing he can do nothing at that point. When he goes to Chielo's cave the first three times, he does not linger in case he is caught waiting there. The fourth time he finds Ekwefi, and stays there as a symbol of manly protectorship.
