Okonkwo's Relationships with his children

As we have talked about in class, the quality of Okonkwo's relationships with his various children is not very cut and dry/simple, and the selected parts of the story that we obtain through reading the book often raise questions about how good these relationships are.  Based on what we had learned prior to the last reading, it seemed like Okonkwo's daughter, Enzima, was his favorite child.  However, when the priestess, Chielo, comes to Okonkwo's house and demands that she be taken away, Okonkwo's reaction - if it can even be called that - is severely repressed.  Although he does argue with the priestess that his daughter is not well enough to make any kind of a journey after just recovering from an illness, he does give in, and seems to flip his opinion on the matter, later asking his wife "Why do you stand there as though she had been kidnapped".  Looking back a day after reading the passage, I can see why he may have done this to seem more manly and strong, but his sudden change of heart in this situation is still somewhat confusing.  A few pages later, the situation is made even more confusing when his wife, after silently following the priestess and her daughter all through the night on their journey, turns around and finds Okonkwo behind her?  Again, while his exact feelings may be hard to determine, the fact that Okonkwo hiked through the night, broke clan tradition, and put himself at great personal risk to make sure his child was safe leads me to conclude that no matter what he says or does daily, Okonkwo must have a deeper love for at least some of his children
