exiled from his beloved city of Florence. Dante is
economically and politically ruined (Cervigni and
Vasta 6). He reflects on the past and is repulsed

Women In The Ibo Society

role in this type of society. In the story,
Okonkwo had three wives. He mandated them around
as though they were animals. They never questioned
what they were told and were required to be loyal.
The reader sees this at the beginning of the
story, when Okonkwo brings the young man into his
home. Okonkwo t...
