Chapters+7-8

My curiosities about Ikemefuna's woeful fate has disappeared after reading chapters 7 and 8; Ikemefuna was killed by Okonkwo, the man whom he calls father! I knew that something unfortunate was going to happen to Ikemefuna, but I didn't expect him to be killed off, just like that. In chapter 7, Ikemefuna is taken outside Umuofia, but he is unaware that he will be killed there as the villagers told him that they were taking him back to his home. However, once the men are far enough from Umuofia, they kill Ikemefuna. This particular scene reminded me of the Greek myth of Perseus and Andromeda. Although Andromeda does not end up dying like Ikemefuna because she is saved by Perseus, she is fastened to a rock on the shore to be killed by a sea serpent under the order of the Oracle of Ammon, similar to how Ikemefuna is taken outside of Umuofia under the order of the Oracle of the Hills and the Caves. Moreover, Andromeda is sent out to the ocean by her father, the King, and I thought that it was similar to the situation Ikemefuna found himself in, as the man whom he calls father killed him. 2.
