The novel, set in post-colonial Nigeria, explores the life of Kambili Achike, a young girl living under the oppressive and authoritarian rule of her father, Eugene Achike. Through an analysis of the characters, the project aims to explore how Adichie uses different methods of characterization to reveal the impact of family dynamics, religious devotion, and political tensions in Nigerian society on individual growth and identity. The study also highlights the role of secondary characters such as Kambili's mother, Beatrice, her brother, Jaja, and their evolving relationship with Eugene, as well as the contrasting influences of Aunty Ifeoma and her children, who offer alternative models of strength, freedom, and defiance. By analyzing Adichie’s use of direct and indirect characterization, the study explores how characters’ internal and external transformations reflect broader themes of power, repression, resilience, and liberation. The research underscores the narrative's critique of the complexities of domestic abuse, religious fanaticism, and societal expectations, illustrating how character development serves as a powerful tool for thematic exploration in Purple Hibiscus....Preview Download Preview +Other Languages and Literatures project topics and materials you might be interested in»Effects of non-use of instructional materials in the teaching of English language in secondary schools»Irony in Drama Hamlet by William Shakespeare»The portrayal of female image a reading of Buchi Emecheta's the bride price»The romance with vampires - a study of Festus Iyayi’s Violence and Razinat T Mohammed’s Habiba»Diasporic literature a reading of Chimamanda Adichie's Americanah»An appraisal of gender experiences in selected African migrant narratives analysis of Chimamanda Adichies Americanah and the thing around your neck»Character and characterization in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Purple Hibiscus
