Discuss the roles of and treatment of women in Umuofia. What is the significance of Chielo, the priestess of Agbala, and the episode in which she takes Ezinma on a nightly voyage?
The role of women in the village is to take care of the children, to clean the hut, and to cook all the meals for their husband and children. Although the women are basically the foundation of the African clans, giving birth to healthy children and then raising and maintaining the family, they are treated like property. When they are of age, their parents wed them away, for a dowry, to become a woman and start a family. The significance of Chielo taking Ezinma on the night voyage was that the women of the clan are somewhat important. For one thing, Agbala had called specifically for Okonkwo's daughter, Ezinma. Another thing that happens during this voyage is that Okonkwo actually begins to worry when his second wife, Ekwefi, and Ezinma take so long to turn up. This exposes the fact that even though women are treated like property, they are still cared for and are of significance to their husbands and fathers.
