Thesis:
Achebe takes full advantage of the Igbo cultures
gender roles to further develop his novel and characters, which may be perceived
differently, due to cultural differences between the audience of Things Fall
Apart.
Topic Sentences:
1. Those of a Western audience may find this novel hard to "digest", as the actions of the Igbo people towards gender, may be scene as controversial by those not of this culture.
2. Many Nigerians love Achebe's novel, as it is a more realistic take on how men and women would interact within that time period, and would not act against the gender inequality which takes place.
3. However, comparing it to modern standards, all can agree that the gender roles that are used within Things Fall Apart are old practices, adding another layer of discussion to this theme.
