Do you think Okonkwo is justified in reaction when he thinks his second wife, Ekwefi, killed a banana tree during the New Yam Festival? Explain.

No, he is not justified in beating his second wife for killing a banana tree, when in fact she is only using the leaves of the tree to wrap food in for the festival. Okonkwo goes overboard when he gets his gun and tries to shoot her as she jumps over the wall of the barn. He shows poor self-control and violates clan rituals.
