The week of peace is a rare a sacred week in the Umuofia village. This week was dedicated to the gods and goddess in the villages. When this week approached there were no criminal acts to be preformed. This week was set aside to be a holy week, and if anybody broke this sacred day with some criminal act they would be punished.
Okonkwo let his anger and wrath get to the best of him on this week. Ojiugo was okonkwo’s third and youngest wife. She left without permission, and when she arrived home she awaited a near death experience. Okonkwo broke the week of peace and there he was punished by Ezeani, the priest of the earth goddess.

No one was suppose to do any work our criminal acts during the Week of Peace. Okonkwo committed the first criminal act during the Week of Peace. He was now the gossip of the town. Okonkwo knew he had committed a horrible crime and he went to the local priest for help.
The priest couldn’t do too much to stop the emotional pain that was with in Okonkwo. Okonkwo felt the sharp pain inside but he wouldn’t let one tear or sign of emotion out. The people of the villages said that he had no respect for the gods of Umuofia.
