Ekwefi is waiting for Chielo to return with Ezinma. Who suddenly appears? Why? Were you surprised?

Ekwefi is startled by Okonkwo, who has also followed the Oracle and intends to do what he must to protect their daughter. I was not surprised, as it is evident throughout the novel that Okonkwo loves his daughter dearly. Yes, he wished she would have been a boy, but regardless of the fact that all men want sons...... daughters are very special to their fathers.
