Do you agree with the old man who said that Okonkwo's palm-kernels had been cracked for him by a benevolent spirit? Justify your answer.

The Week of Peace is a time when none of the clanspeople argue with one another. They also do no work during this time. It is a week to live in peace and honor the goddess of the earth so that the crops will grow abundantly. Okonkwo violates the Week of Peace by beating his wife, Ojiugo, for not preparing his dinner. His punishment is to bring one she-goat, one hen, a length of cloth and one hundred cowries to the shrine of Ani. Many people believe his good fortunes have corrupted him and that he has no respect for the gods.
