Purple hibiscuses symbolise the emancipation and womanist agency of Kambili. Kambili's inward quest for liberation is marked with the image of the flower which is purple, a rare and vibrant colour for hibiscus. In addition, the vibrancy, energy, vivacity and beauty of life that Kambili and Jaja enjoy at Aunty Ifeoma's house are in contrast with the oppressive life at their own house. In this sense, the colour purple is symbolic of Kambili's agency and her spirited womanhood that she achieves through her relationship with Father Amadi and through the guidance she receives from Aunty Ifeoma.
This was a great analysis, you made the story so much more interesting and captivating especially with the symbolism I missed. Disregarding the fact that I have to read this for my highschool it was a great read and its so cool being able to watch these videos now and learn even more.
Thanks! I’m hoping to begin English Literature A-Level next year and this book was a wonder to read, definitely a couple of steps above Of Mice and Men!
Wow, thank you so much for the summary! I read through it but I don't speak African, so I had a lot of trouble understanding many of the passages. Really appreciate it!
Wole Soyinka is most famous as a playwright, though he has also written novels, poetry, and a memoir entitled "The Man Died". If it were me, I'd start with the memoir. It is a record of his time as a political prisoner.
"Is he not an image of the very God they worship?" I disagree with this assumption. God does not encourage anything that Papa does. He represents the misled Catholics who rely on church teachings that often misconstrue the word in the Bible. Papa is everything you said but is surely not an image of God.

Can you please talk about how Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie started with the allusion "Things started to fall apart" and why she started with an allusion
Things fall apart is the name of another book by Chinua Achebe a reknown Nigerian writer which in itself is a tragedy.
Chim really loved Chinua Achebe and he is her mentor

African is not a language. There are hundreds of languages in the continent of Africa, in Nigeria alone, there are more than 500 languages.
African is not a language

You mention Wole Soyinka, but didn't say what his most famous book is.
Wole Soyinka is most famous as a playwright, though he has also written novels, poetry, and a memoir entitled "The Man Died". If it were me, I'd start with the memoir. It is a record of his time as a political prisoner.
tryna pass my mock exams🙏
Thanks

How do you pronounce their last name ‘Achike’?
Dione Blok I pronounce it “ah-Dee-chay”
"Aa- chee-keh"
@@blueridding He actually meant Achike the family's name and not Adichie the author's name.
You say achike like ahcheekeh
You say adichie like ahdeechi
thank you!
