entry 21

"The priestess had now reached Okonkwo's compound and was talking with him outside his hut. She was saying again and again that Agbala wanted to see his daughter, Enzima.Okonkwo pleaded her to come back in the morning because Enzima was now asleep. But Cheilo ignored what he was trying to say and went on shouting that Agbala needed to see his daughter. Her voice was as clear as metal, and Okonkwo's women and children heard from their huts all that she said. Okonkwo was still pleading that the girl had been ill of late and was asleep."pg. 100

I wonder what the priestess wants with Enzima. If i were Enzima i would be afraid to go with the crazy possessed lady. I am glad Okonkwo tries to spare his daughter some pain. It is hard to decide whether or not i think he is a good guy because he keeps mixing it up one day he will murder someone and the next he will be all caring and concerned for his daughter it makes it kind of hard to tell what kind of character she is.
