Chapter Summaries & Analyses
This chapter utilizes the viewpoint of Ugwu. Several years have passed since the events at the end of Part One, and this section begins with Ugwu visiting his home village of Opi. He speaks with his little sister, Anulika, who has been recently engaged to a man by the name of Onyeka. Her engagement reminds Ugwu of her sexuality, and such a thought disgusts Ugwu. The time for Ugwu to depart has come and thus he gives his goodbyes to his family members. Anulika walks Ugwu to a nearby road where they encounter Nnesinachi.
Since Ugwu has been in Nsukka for so long, he has not encountered Nnesinachi in several years, though they instantly hit it off. Nnesinachi overtly flirts with Ugwu, and afterwards Anulika comments upon the woman’s obviously infatuated behavior. Shortly thereafter, Ugwu begins his final departure and his sister comments that he has become an important person and has lost the memory of where he came from.
