Yes the men do. I would say most of the men thought it tragic and unnecessary. The killing of Ikemefuna did nothing to help any situation. Clans and tribes were always at war with each other.

Do you think Okonkwo have lost status in the eyes of his clansmen if he had chosen NOT to take part in Ikemefuna’s death?
