1) This passage shows that women are highly valued in their society because twenty bags of cowries is a valuable purchase however the ability to purchase a woman is a sign that women are not valued
2) Women in the Ibo culture are considered to be very mistreated because of how they are looked upon by society.
3) The ceremony in chapter ten favors men in that women were there at the ceremony but looked on from the fringe which shows that they are outsides. An example of this is when women were present there would always be men with her and more men surrounding her. Women in this chapter are not supported because they were not allowed to talk or ask questions which is a sign of patriarchy. In this book, a social hierarchy is in place in which the man is on top and the woman is on bottom.\
4) Ikemefuna, before his death was very depressed because he knew that he was going to die so he went into a state of deep depression.
