TFA Chapter 8

Chapter 8 starts out with Okonkwo talking about how he is upset that he killed Ikemefuna. When he called Nwoye in, he got scared and ran out of the hut. Ikemefuna's death affected Okonkwo so bad that he didn't eat for days. Finally after about 2 days, he ate. When he saw his daughter he kept thinking to himself "She should have been a boy". When his was just laying around feeling sorry, he kept telling himself that he became a woman. I think what he meant by this was that he's been acting like a baby ever since Ikemefuna died. The book then goes into the village of Ire. Ogbuefi Ndulue, the oldest man in village, passed away. When his first wife heard that he died she went over to see him. When she went back to her hut, she passed away. I thought this part was kind of weird. It's like they were one person or something.
