Her children die quickly after child birth.

She remains steadfast, continuing to have children even after most of them continue to die.

She talks back to her husband occasionally.

She is passionate.

She does not fully honour her commitments, as shown when she runs away from her husband Anene.

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.

Chielo goes to Okonkwo's compound to bring Ezinma, her 'daughter' to speak with the goddess Agbala.

The woman and girl end up traversing around the nine villages before ending up in the cave of the oracle.

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.

Nwoye began to act like a man by distancing himself from his father’s expectations and adopting his own beliefs and values. He chose to embrace the new religion brought by the missionaries, which gave him a sense of identity and purpose different from his father’s traditional beliefs. This shift in allegiance and autonomy marked a significant step in Nwoye’s journey towards manhood.

Okonkwo was chosen because of his bravery, warrior status, and reputation as a strong and influential member of the community. His presence was seen as a way to assert Umuofia's strength and power during the mission.

Chielo is a friend to Ekwefi.

Okonkwo is warned not to take part in the killing of Ikemefuna, the young boy who was living with his family. The Oracle warns him that he should not personally participate in the killing as it would bring about grave consequences.

Okonkwo's character in the novel "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe is shaped by his desire to avoid the failures of his father and be seen as strong and successful in his community. His fear of being perceived as weak drives him to behave harshly and with a focus on traditional masculinity, ultimately leading to his downfall.

If you are speaking of the footballer, Okonkwo plays soccer.

It you are speaking of the character in Things Fall Apart, and referenced in No Longer at Ease by Chinua Achebe, Okonkwo was a wrestler, farmer, warrior, and lover.

The audience of "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe is primarily readers interested in African literature, postcolonial studies, and issues of cultural clash and colonization. It is also widely read in academic settings.

The ship encountered a storm and was damaged, causing it to start taking on water. The crew worked to repair the damage and bail out the water to keep the ship afloat. Everyone on board followed safety procedures and remained calm until the situation was under control.

Two critical incidents that contribute to Nwoye giving away inside in "Things Fall Apart" are witnessing Ikemefuna's death, which causes him to question his father's values and beliefs, and his father's violent reaction towards his Christian faith, which further alienates him from his family and clan. These events lead Nwoye to eventually renounce his traditional beliefs and values, ultimately embracing Christianity as a way to find his own identity and sense of belonging.

Okonkwo's family returned to Umuofia in the 'wrong year' because it was one year after people were inducted into the ozo society. This event happened only every 3 years, so Okonkwo would have to wait 2 additional years to induct his sons.

Okonkwo continues struggles with his identity, as the spectre of Okonkwo's father and Unoka's dishonour as an agbala continue to chase him. Okonkwo is continually running away from the reputation of his father, so much so that he goes the opposite extremes.

Nwoye struggles as his father's son. As father is so great, he can never match his prowess. Further, the things he enjoys, such as his mother's stories, are symbols of weakness in his father's eyes. Nwoye struggles to be himself and his father's son at the same time, but ultimately rejects both his father and his native culture to convert to Christianity.

Okonkwo feels frustrated and disappointed when he hears Nwoye grumbling about women because he sees it as a sign of weakness and effeminacy, qualities he despises. He believes that Nwoye should be displaying more masculine traits and strength instead of complaining like a woman.

There is nothing explicit in text that Okonkwo says often about Ezinma.

Okonkwo does say twice throughout the book the idea that Ezinma should have been a boy, but whether this is said often is not is unknown.

The priestess of the Oracle of Hills and Caves, or Chielo depending on your perspective.

Okonkwo's inflexibility, rooted in his fear of being perceived as weak like his father, leads to his downfall. His refusal to adapt to changing circumstances or question his beliefs ultimately brings about his tragic fate. His inability to find a middle ground or evolve in response to challenges contributes to his ultimate tragedy.

This incident is not specified. Assuming you are talking about Ikemefuna's death, the difference in this death was that it was not in war, and it was of his own adopted son. Okonkwo killed Ikemefuna because the Oracle had decreed it must be done. However, for Okonkwo to deliver the blow himself was unnecessary. Okonkwo did this out of fear, not out of courage.

The Oracle of the Caves and Hills pronounces that Ikemefuna must die.

If talking of Okonkwo's specific action, then Ikemefuna is killed by Okonkwo because Okonkwo is afraid of being thought of as weak.
