"And when she returned he beat her heavily. In his anger he had forgotten it was the week of peace."pg.29
This made me think a lot less of Okonkwo. He should not have beat her, she did not even do anything that bad. I mean come on he missed one meal it will not kill him. He also broke the rule of peace in peace week. The part that truly bugged me the most was when he went to the priest to ask forgiveness he said that his reason to beat her was just. How can someone being slightly forgetful be a just reason to beat them.
