After three years in the household, Ikemefuna

• has made a place in the family as an elder brother and role model to Nwoye

• is accepted by the clan and offered the ozo title

• will be betrothed to Ezinma

• tells masculine stories of violence and bloodshed

Nwoye's attitude toward the stories his father tells demonstrates his

• acceptance of clan traditions and culture

• similarities to his grandfather

• reluctance to join the masculine culture his father represents

• has fallen apart under the pressure Okonkwo places on Nwoye

• Okonkwo's conscience

• Obierika's wishes
