The detail which best illustrates a contradiction in Okonkwo's character is that he waits up with Ekwefi while their daughter is with the priestess. The correct option is B. Okonkwo is a great warrior in his village and a very rich man. He loves showing his masculinity by shying away from anything that will allow him to show his tender emotions and he always make jest of men who relate lovingly with their wives. Okonkwo waited up with one of his wives when their daughter was sick and she was been taken care of by a priestess. This action shows another side of Okonkwo, who normally will make jest of any man who do that.
