Things Fall Apart illustrates many different aspects of Igbo culture. For one, it shows us on may occasions they way they view religion. They are polytheistic, which means they worship many gods. Their gods and goddesses govern different aspects of the world and daily life, such as the earth goddess, Ani.
Different rituals and customs go along with each god. We can see this in the week of peace, which is observed to honor Ani so she will bless the crops. In addition, some of the gods have Oracles. These are basically their mouthpiece on earth. The Oracles will sometimes be possessed by their god, and the god will speak through them and tell the clan what they need to do.
The novel also explores non-religious aspects of Igbo culture. For example, we see and hear about the different ceremonies and rituals that surround courtship and marriage. Men almost always have more than one wife, an important cultural aspect. We also see how the clan conducts aspects of war, and some of how they keep and enforce law and order. Over the course of the novel we get to see a wide array of different aspects of Igbo life and culture. Not sure if this is at least two hundred words but hope it helps.
Answer:
D. It characterizes the County Attorney as someone desirous of showing respect to women, even if he does not mean it.
Explanation:
In the play "Triffles," by Susan Glaspell, the Country Attorney is described as a man who gives polite attention or respect to women. However, in the play he does not give importance to what women thought and felt. In fact, it is a male-dominate society in which the men consider that a kitchen contains unsignificant elements or "triffles." However, the items found actually provide the evidence for the women to solve the case.
In the text it says, "She taught me my scales and exercises, too, on the little parlor organ", "I struggled with the 'Harmonious Blacksmith'", and "<span>I had been doggedly beating out some easy passages from an old score of 'Euryanthe'". The boy mostly practiced scales and exercises, but he also played "Harmonius Blacksmith" and "Euryanthe".</span>
