In Chinua Achebe's novel "Things Fall Apart," Ogbuefi Ndulue's wife, Ozoemena, is said to die before Ndulue due to the cultural belief that a man should not outlive his wife, which is seen as a sign of bad luck. Additionally, her death reflects the theme of gender roles and expectations within the Igbo society, where women often bear the emotional burden of family responsibilities. Ogbuefi Ndulue's grief and eventual death also highlight the deep connection between love, loss, and identity in the community.
