Question

Describe Obiageli's accident with the broken water pot.

Answer 1

Ikemefuna and the first wife's children come marching in with dinner pots, but Obiageli has no pot and is crying. Obiageli broke her pot while showing off to the other children; she tried to pretend she was a grown woman and carry the pot on her head.

Answer 2

When Obiageli broke the pot, how did Okonkwo react and how did you expect him to react? How do you account for any discrepancies? He defended her. This was odd because based on his personality and previous accidents he would snap out and beat her, but instead he did the opposite.
