Read the passage from "marriage is a private affair" by chinua achebe.

the old man at once felt the resolution he had built up over so many years falling in. he was telling himself that he must not give in. he tried to steel his heart against all emotional appeals. it was a re-enactment of that other struggle. he leaned against a window and looked out. the sky was overcast with heavy black clouds and a high wind began to blow filling the air with dust and dry leaves. it was one of those rare occasions when even nature takes a hand in a human fight. very soon it began to rain, the first rain in the year. it came down in large sharp drops and was accompanied by the lightning and thunder which mark a change of season. okeke was trying hard not to think of his two grandsons. but he knew he was now fighting a losing battle. he tried to hum a favorite hymn but the pattering of large rain drops on the roof broke up the tune. his mind immediately returned to the children. how could he shut his door against them? by a curious mental process he imagined them standing, sad and forsaken, under the harsh angry weather—shut out from his house.
that night he hardly slept, from remorse—and a vague fear that he might die without making it up to them.

which part of this passage would be most important from both a feminist perspective and a historical perspective?

okeke's willingness to accept his grandchildren from a marriage he did not arrange

how the weather affects okeke's mood and his decision-making

whether logical appeals would have had a stronger effect on okeke than emotional appeals

how okeke's grandsons end up standing outside his house
