Chapter 22 What is your response to Enoch's unmasking of an egwugwu?Do you feel that the tribe's reaction is reasonable and their outrage is merited?

Some of the Christian men beg the egwugwu to retire briefly, so that the women will be allowed to go home. The egwugwu agree. As they are retiring, Enoch boasts arrogantly that they would not dare to touch a Christian. One of the egwugwu strikes Enoch with a cane; Enoch unmasks him. To unmask an egwugwu is considered a terrible sin. The Igbo believe it kills the egwugwu. The tribes reaction is valid because this is a part of their culture and belief system.
