Reflection:
The egwugwu resolve problems for the village; in this case Uzowulu claimed to beat his wife for being unfaithful but Evil Forest and the public laugh at him because his wife was pregnant and no man would have sexual intercourse with a pregnant woman. Here the wife’s family was present and they came to protect her. Unlike American tradition in which the family doesn’t have to be involved tin the process of marriage, Ibo families are very involved in the marriages of their sisters or daughters.
