Anonymous Egwugwu
One thing that had me thinking throughout the whole novel was how the Egwugwu were anonymous beings to the villagers. It made me wonder if egwugu even had spouses or children. Because if they did, would that mean if their kids or wives be able to get away punishment free with a crime? Because then no one would think they got off because they were related to one of the egwugwu. Also what I wondered was if Okonkwo was a an Egwugwu.. I feel like they somewhat were implying that he was when they had that small excerpt where they were saying how he was practically the only man not at the gathering and how his domineering figure and personality fit the description of an egwugu.
