Question

How do Ikemefuna's arrival, presence, and death affect the community?

Answer 1

Answer:

When Ikemefuna arrives in Umuofia, he´s offered shelter by Okonkwo´s first wife. The family bonds with Ikemefuna, especially Nwoye, Okonkwo’s son.

Explanation:

However, the village elders determine that Ikemefuna has to die to settle a dispute with a nearby community. Okonkwo finds himself forced to kill Ikemefuna himself, despite having learned to care for him. Ikefuma’s death ends up damaging Okonkwo and Nwoye´s relationship.
