Okonkwo beat the legendary Amalinze the Cat, who had been undefeated in 5 years of wrestling.
Ekwefi is Okonkwo's second wife in Chinua Achebe's novel "Things Fall Apart." She angers Okonkwo by disobeying his orders not to participate in the wrestling match for her daughter, Ezinma. Despite his wishes, she ignores Okonkwo's command and attends the match, leading to a heated argument between them.
The wrestling matches are her favourite part of the festival. This has to do with the circumstances of her marriage to Okonkwo. She fell in love with Okonkwo during the opening match of the book, when he threw the Cat. She always fancied Okonkwo but he was too poor to pay the bride price. After the match she ran away from her husband and eloped with Okonkwo. No Okonkwo doesn't turn out to be prince charming but Ekwefi likes that memory.
Okonkwo was respected because he embodied the ideals of manliness among the Igbo. He was strong, and a fierce fighter who had killed other warriors. He threw Amalinze the Cat during a wrestling match. He was a hard worker and farmer, and was financially successful. He had three wives and many children, along with a fairly large compound. He had taken several titles.
This depends on what proceedings are being discussed. The funeral? The wrestling match? Ikemefuna's death? The feast? The haggling of bride price?
The beat of the drums filled Okonkwo with fire. Okonkwo felt the desire to conquer and subdue.
In Chinua Achebe's novel "Things Fall Apart," Okonkwo shoots at Ekwefi during the annual wrestling match out of frustration due to his anger and pride being hurt by her comment that Ezinma may not survive being married off. This act shows Okonkwo's impulsive and violent nature.
Okonkwo became famous when he threw the Cat, Amalinze while wrestling as a youth.
The storyline is scripted, the actual wrestling match is not
Okonkwo originally wanted Ekwefi for his first wife, but did not have the money. It appears that the two are more together for love, whereas the other marriages were originally marriages of convenience and business.
