After Chielo takes Ezinma, how do Okonkwo’s actions reveal a different side to his character than the reader has seen thus far?

Okonkwo actually shows he cares about one of his children and a girl at that! Ezinma is loved by her father. Okonkwo follows the priestess, too, as determined as Ekwefi to protect the child if need be. But on his appearance outside the cave, we are reminded of Okonkwo's character and limitations: he is carrying a matchet, as if a mortal weapon could protect him against gods and spirits. Okonkwo approach to problems never varies. He has one set of reactions: willpower and the strength of his muscles are his only weapons. Later, this single-minded approach will cost him his life.
