entry 28
page of reflection:173
Okonkwo's plan was to get the attention
from the villagers of Umofia. While Okonkwo was living in his motherland
his two eldest daughters Ezinma and Obiageli had grown up and where at
the age to be married. Especially since they had been receiving proposals
of marriage from everyone in Mbanta. Not only this but Ezinma'a mother
in her day was know to be the beauty of the town, so like mother like
daughter, Ezinma was called Crystal of Beauty. While the years passed
Okonkwo had become very affectionate of his daughter because they
understood each other well. It could be said that Ezinma was the favorite
of his children, because at times Okonkwo wished she was a boy. He explained
to his daughter Ezinma not to accept any offers of marriage because when they
would return to Umofia he knew this would grab a lot of attention. Ezinma accepted
and explained it to her half sister Obiageli who accepted also.
