Abstract:
Our literature review shows that Adichie’s works, including Purple Hibiscus, recognize gender marginalization in areas undermined by many African authors. These areas includeparenting and child development that determine individual emotional stabilityand social responsibility. This study interrogates the form of cultural upbringing of a child which stifles the unconscious selfhood of an individual whose existential being is subject to both the conscious and the unconscious. The study focuses onthe subtleties of parenting and character formation in Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus. Tracing individual

Abstract:
Abstract This paper identifies Chimamanda Adichie as a post-colonial African female writer who shows her African consciousness and commitment by creating characters who are awakened and grounded in their culture. Adichie in Purple Hibiscus explores the Igbo culture where she comes from through her characters who uphold the customs and traditions of their people. Using the post-colonial theory that rejects western values and celebrates African cultural identities and values, this paper argues that Adichie creates characters who express their culture unashamedly and undermine imperialism.

Abstract:
Purple Hibiscus, a novel by third-generation Nigerian author Chimamanda Adichie, appears at first glance to be a simple work of adolescent fiction, a bildungsroman in which a pair of siblings navigate the typical challenges of incipient adulthood: social ostracism, an abusive parent, emerging desire. However, the novel's setting-a revolutionary-era Nigeria-is clearly intended to evoke post-Biafra Nigeria, itself the setting of Adichie's other major work, Half of a Yellow Sun. This setting takes Purple Hibiscus beyond the scope of most modern adolescent fiction, creating a complex allegory in w

After the analysis, examples of how the novel can be taught in intercultural, communicative EFL classrooms will be given. In the analysis theorie

In Purple Hibiscus, Adichie describes what happens in a family when one person, Papa Eugene, takes control and completely subjugates other family members to his wishes and demands. The author shows the dire consequences his actions have on his family but also how those actions ultimately lead to his own destruction. This essay links the restrictions and abuse suffered by Kambili and her family to Michel Foucault’s theories on torture and surveillance as detailed in Discipline and Punish.

This essay concerns Purple Hibiscus and Kambili's emotional development, and explores how violence, submission and emotional dependence along with a traditional feminine gender role can hinder acknowledgement of trauma. I propose that Kambili is encouraged to take on a culturally expected feminine gender role, and her submissive disposition is discussed and connected to her constant search for a father figure. The notion of personal and collective postcolonial trauma is explained and applied to contextualise her inability to question either her father or the political situation in Nigeria. I r

The purpose of this essay is to conduct a character analysis on Eugene Achike from Chimamana Ngozi Adichie’s novel Purple Hibiscus, to see whether or not the character is used by Adichie as a portrayal of colonial Nigeria and its values. I have done this by looking at the themes of violence and hypocrisy in relation to Eugene’s language usage, religious attitude, and behaviour towards others, and comparing these aspects of his personality with the attitudes shown by colonialists in colonial Nigeria. The more important issues that prove Eugene’s character is a portrayal of colonial Nigeria are:

This thesis project examines the work of three female Nigerian authors: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Sefi Atta and Chika Unigwe. They are part of a growing number of young African writers who are receiving international acclaim and challenging narratives that have long defined the continent in pejorative terms. They question what it means to be female and African in a transcultural, global world but counter discourses that are both restrictive and prescriptive. Their female characters are not imaged in binary terms as either victims or villains. For all three writers, the African story has to be
