Blog Post 23- Thesis statement + Outline

With reference to the novel Things Fall Apart, gender is a driving factor that influences the audiences' interpretation of the Igbo culture and its hierarchy; explicitly based on the gender roles that are portrayed through primary and secondary characters.

Paragraph 1: Chinua Achebe uses the characteristics of dominance and submissive traits to justify the ideology of gender roles within the Igbo culture.

Paragraph 2: Things Fall Apart provides an overall understanding of how gender has a major influence on social and cultural power; meaning that Achebe provides the standard ideology that a male portrays dominance and stands higher in power than a woman figure.

Paragraph 3: Achebe uses the character; Ezinma to convey how the cultural boundaries affect the evolvement of the female; Ezinma.
