"why should a man suffer for an offense he had committed inadvertently? But although he thought for a long time he found no answer. He was merely led into greater complexities. He remembered his wife's twin children, whom he had thrown away. What crime had they committed?" pg. 125
This is the right after Onkonkwo went into exile and his friend Obierika was wondering how a man such as Onkonkwo could be exiled. I am glad someone is finally questioning this village's belief system because it these crazy customs don't seem to bother anyone at all. Obierika is right though they didn't really deserve the severity of their crimes. I mean look at the twins just born and already condemned to death that just isn't fair. I don't think i would be able to live with those customs at all.
