Chapter 7-8

Chapter 9-11

=
As I was reading through the chapters 9-11, I was able to see the relationship between Ezwefi and Ezinma that it was not a normal relationship between a child and a parent, but more rather than same. Although Ekwefi is the mother, because she is able to treat her daughter so highly, I was able to see a relationship where the heirchy of respect and the respect between them are equal. As I was reading the story, I was able to interpret this because Ekwefi lost so many children in the beginning of the story, she loves and gives all due respect to her daughter more than anything else, because she does not want to experience that pain again. For example, on page 76, lines 4 and 5, it says, "Enzima is dying", came her voice, and all the tragedy and sorrow of her life were packed in those words". While I was reading this portion, I was relate to the real world connection with not only Korea, but with the world. Parents who experienced multiple deaths of their children, or those who have gone through multiple failed deliveries and finally managed to have a baby are over-respecting them. Like parents who does not want to lose their children again, they communicate and call their children almost every hour, and constantly becomes nice to them, and in some cases, the children takes advantage of that situation.=====

Question: My question is, when Okonkwo sees this type of situation where there is a strong bond between real live and relationship between Ekwefi and Enzima, do you think he will learn a lesson and change about his view of women and marriage?
