| dc.description.abstract | Literary debates on postcolonial and women gender matters are on the increase in West African novel written by women. These females’ writers portray that the contention and resistance against women is no longer a fight handled exclusively by the intellectuals. In fact, in most previous novels, only the protagonist with a sound intellectual background could dare to stand against the male gender ego, let alone provoking his assassination. This article adopts the theory of resistance, and analyses the circumstances that push a pious housewife, depending entirely on her husband for livelihood, however, this relationship leads to his assassination. The article examines critically the opposite side of oppression and domestic violence in Purple Hibiscus of Chimamanda Adichie. It concludes that ceaseless oppression and domestic violence on human beings, even on the most angelic ones, can lead to a revolt, sometimes bloody. | en_US |
