"Ekwefi did not answer. Tears of gratitude filled her eyes. She knew her daughter was safe. "go home and sleep," said Okonkwo. "I shall wait here." "I shall wait too. It is almost dawn. The first cock has crowed." p.g 108
I knew Okonkwo would decide to follow them in the end. He is showing how he can really be a caring person. He doesn't seem like a bad person just sort of mislead in his belief system. Not that I am saying that his religion is completely wrong it's just some of the beliefs are a little warped. For instance the way they dispose of twins when they are born because they are bad luck, or killing Ikemefuna. This quote also explains what his wife saw in him, because ever since it mentioned that she ran away to him i have always wondered why.
