The egwugwu do not kill Reverend Smith because they recognize the importance of maintaining peace and order within the community. Instead of resorting to violence, they seek to uphold justice and demonstrate their authority through a trial. Additionally, killing Smith would further escalate tensions between the indigenous beliefs and colonial influences, undermining their own cultural values and the stability of their society. By choosing not to kill him, the egwugwu aim to assert their power while also showing restraint and wisdom.

What does the clan do about Enoch's actions in Things Fall Apart?

When Enoch boasts that the egwugwu would not dare to touch a Christian, one egwugwu gives Enoch a stroke with his cane. When Enoch tears off the egwugwu's mask, the other egwugwu surrounded their fallen comrade and shielded their companion from the profane gaze of women and children. The egwugwu chop and burn down Enoch's compound while ordinary men and women stayed in their houses. They attempt to talk to Mr. Smith, and end up burning down the church, presumably with Enoch in it.
