A very bad news came to the village, a woman who married with Ogbuefi Udo, went to buy some things to Mbaino and had been killed. In exchange they sent a virgin woman and a lad of fifteen because they didn't wanted war. The boy was named Ikemefuna and stayed in Okonkwos house in company of his wives and other kids.
Okonkwo is a very cold man who related weakness with woman. He now lived with three in his house, since he had always been working hard. He gained his first yams with the help of a man called Nwakibi who knew that he wouldn't betray him. He beated his son hard when he didn't want to make things in the correct way.
Woman had to do everything Okonkwo wanted. One day he arrived to his obi and his wife Ojiugo wasn't there, although his other wives tried to help her, he was so angry that he hit his woman heavily, without caring that they were in The Week of Peace to show honor to the great godess, ani. In another ocassion he shot her wife because she had cut some leaves from a banana tree, luckily he failed and didn't kill her.
Umofia was celebrating New Yam, to thank the goddess for all the things she had done. The wrestling competition took place in the second day of the celebration. The whole town went to see the big game. Ekwefi, one of the wives of Okonkwo, loved wrestling so she attended the event happily. There she had the opportunity to talk with Chielo a woman who appreciated Ekwefi's daughter Ezinma.
Okonkwo started to feel angry in the conpetition because a young man was about to win the battle and he remember himself in the old times.
