Chapter 1-3
Chapter 1: Okonkwo was known
through and out of the nine villages and even beyond. When he was a young man at the age of eighteen
he had thrown Amalinze the Cat which has brought honor to his village. Okonkwo had highly disliked his father, Unoka, because he
was an unsuccessful man and borrowed money from a lot of people which he never
return back. He had always love playing on his flute and drinking. When Unoka
had died he had taken no title whatsoever and he was heavy on dept. During
these times the man was judged according to what his worth is and not the worth
of your father. When Okonkwo gotten older, he was a wealthy farmer and had two
barns full of yams, and also had just married his 3rd wife. Okonkwo
had taken two titles and had shown a whole lot amount of incredible prowess in
two inter-tribal wars.
Chapter
2: The sons, known as a wild animal, have murder a daughter of Umuofia. The
daughter had just gone to the market at Mbaino and had been killed there. The
woman that had been killed was the wife of Ogbuefi Udo. They soon had to come
to a decision of choosing between war or offer a young man and a virgin as
compensation. The people feared Umuofia, therefore they tried to do a peaceful
settlement. At any point if the clan had disobeyed the Oracle they would surely
have been beaten. They were so beaten because their dreaded agadinwayi would never fight what the
Ibo call a fight of blame. Sooner or
later Okonkwo became home with a fifteen year old boy who was a young virgin.
The fellow name was Ikemefuna. They sooner decided that the girl, Ikemefuna
sister, should go to Obuefi Udo to replace the murder of his wife, but instead,
the boy had now belonged to each and everyone in the clan.
Chapter 3: Okonkwo did not start on the right track as many
others had the chance to do. He did not
gain a barn from his father, because there was nothing to gain. Unoka had
always had a tragic harvest, so he went to consult the Oracle of the Hills and
the Caves to find out his reason why. People always come from near and far to
consult the Oracle, which is also called Agbala. They came for variety of
reason like misfortune came there way, when they had a dispute with their
neighbors, to discover what the fortune held for them, or to even consult the
spirits of their departed fathers. Later on, Okonkwo came before Nwakibie for
help with his yam. Nwakibie was one the wealthy man in Okonkwo village. He was
a very successful man with three big barns, nine wives, and thirty children.
He had taken the highest but one title which a man could take in the clan. It
was for this man that Okonkwo worked to earn his first seed yams.
