Things Fall Apart:
Ekwefi defies the priestess by following her and Ezinma to the Oracle’s cave. What traits that the Ibo associate with masculinity does this behavior reveal?

Answered by maham237 @



Answer:

The traits are bravery, courage, fearlessness, heroism, as well as boldness.

Explanation:

In the book, 'Things Fall Apart', by Chinua Achebe, an evening arrives in the house of Okonkwo where the family relax outside the hut, telling stories. The priestess, Chielo arrives the hut telling Okonkwo that the Agbala or the god of the land wants to see his daughter, Ezinma that evening. All pleas by Okonkwo for Agbala to wait till the next morning fell on deaf ears. Ekwefi who was Ezinma's mother was listening to this. So while the Priestess and her daughter leave that night, she followed them closely through the bush path endeavoring not to be seen.

This character displayed by Ekwefi, highlights the traits that the Ibo associate with masculinity which are bravery, courage fearlessness, and boldness even in the face of danger. The Ibos believe that the males are to defend and protect their family, which is what Ekwefi does. She was later joined by Okonkwo, her husband in the bush.
