Chapter+9-11+EuniceC

In the story, Ekwefi leads a very tragic life. Once a beauty in her village, she runs away from her formal husband and remarries Okonkwo. Tragedy begins here for her. Her children continue to die and she gets beaten severely whenever she does something wrong in her husband's eyes. Through Ekwefi, I could vaguely see how lives were for women at that time. They were regarded low under constant seizures of men. There is a story in chapter 10 about a trial. In the trial, the Evil Forest forgives a man who had beaten his wife constantly and makes her return to him. By Ekwefi's life and the trial, I could see how the world was centered around men at that time.

What would have been a fair judgment for the Evil Forest to make?
