CHAPTER 5(TRADITIONS)
Ma Blackie finished his mourning and she became Okonkwo’s fourth wife. Okonkwo was planning to be the chief.For this he needed money.He was planning to get this money from Aku-nna’s and Ogugua’s bride prices.
Okonkwo’s first wife,Ngbeke,was jealous of Ma Blackie.Because she wasn’t obeying her and she was proud and intelligent.
At the same time in the school Aku-nna was becoming very special to the teacher, Chike Ofulue.But Chike was the son of a slave and surely nobody would approve this love.Because according to traditions the son of a slave family can’t marry to the daughter of a free family.
