Chinua Achebe never reveals the name of Okonkwo's first wife in "Things Fall Apart" to emphasize the importance of Okonkwo's legacy and role in society rather than the individual identities of his wives. Okonkwo's first wife serves as a representative of the many women in the Igbo society who often go unnamed and are defined by their relationship to men. By omitting her name, Achebe highlights the patriarchal nature of the society and the lack of agency for women.

Why should Donald Trump not submit his taxes?

The president is not obliged to reveal his taxes. He knows what is in them and has chosen not to reveal them. He has been pressured to reveal them, but has decided that it is not in his advantage to reveal them. He said he would reveal them, but decided not to, or maybe he never intended to. As I said, he knows what is in them and has decided not to reveal them. He knows that people will speculate about what may be in them, but he has decided that speculation is less damaging than the truth would be.
