What does the clan’s reaction to the Oracle’s message about Ikemefuna reveal about Igbo values?
mote1985 [20]

The clan's reaction reveals that they believe that individual sacrifices must be made for the good of society and to guarantee strength and honor to individuals.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The oracle states that Ikemefuna must be killed on account of Umuofiana's death.
  • This must be done to create harmony in nature and ensure that locusts do not invade the region.
  • Everyone sees this as an obligation that must be done for the good of all and that there is no justification for this murder not to happen.
  • The oracle states that Ikemefuna's father, Okonkwo, is the one who must kill him, as this is the sacrifice he must make for the good of all.

Okonkwo feels terribly sad, but this is the role the entire clan is waiting to be played. Furthermore, failure to carry out the oracle's orders would cause Okonkwo to be seen as weak and selfish.

This question is about the book "Things Fall Apart."

17. How can we characterize the relationship between Huck and Jim? Does Huck ever view Jim as an equal, and vice versa?
belka [17]
Huck and Jim initially start out on two different levels of the totem pole: with Huck, a young, white male being on the top; and Jim, an escape slave, being on the bottom. Huck understands this and thus treats Jim poorly (such as when he plays tricks on Jim or looks down upon him), but after their time spent together as runaways, Huck begins to understand and respect Jim— and even care for him.

In your opinion, is Greek mythology Heracles a positive figure or a negative one?
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

To be honest, it all depends on whether you think his actions of unnecessary violence against monsters or evil individuals are horrific or acceptable. However, I feel Heracles is a positive character because, while being depicted as a ruthless and violent hero, he only fought horrible individuals and demons, not innocent people.
