the ancient drums guns and

cannon was fired by the frenzy

of the man. By the time

Everything happened so fast

the last gun that fire started the confusion

It shot down great warrior’s son by

Father and we were banished.

How’s Ikemufuna dead isn’t serve like this?

as the title of the story where Okonkwo accidentally kill Ezedu’s son and he has to flee. As
Okonkwo flee to Mbanta to the place where his mother was born, his uncle, Uchendu talk to him
about the culture they have where the wife should be buried in the husband village if nothing
bad happens in the marriage but his mother is buried in his own village. This makes Okonkwo

village where he has to depend on his mother family and it makes him felt weak. Female in this
society is also considered as weak too and he doesn’t like to be like his father and this make the
feminine association conflicted with his personality.
