THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN CHINUA ACHEBE’S THINGS FALL APART -

Abstract

From the start, the part of ladies in Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart" may give off an impression of being unjustifiably restricted regarding their position and force. Individuals have not given a lot of consideration to it past obliging the suspicion that this novel presents ladies as a tragically persecuted bunch with no force. This expectation may give off an impression of being correct, yet after digging underneath this deluding surface, one can see that the ladies of the tribe hold some incredible positions. Subsequently, this article is an endeavor to show the significant part of ladies both in family and in African man centric culture. The ladies' ground-breaking positions in the family manage their capacities, for example profoundly as the priestess, emblematically as the earth goddess, and in a real sense as the nurturers of the Ibo public, the guardians of the sweet potato crops and the moms and instructors of the Ibo kids.
