English
1 answer:

Answer:

The family still loved Papa even though he was violent towards them because he had engrossed fear in them and manipulated them into believing that his acts of beating are out of love.

Explanation:

'Purple Hibiscus' is a novel written by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. The novel is about a Catholic Nigerian Family, centered around the main character Kambili Achike, a fifteen-year-old girl.

The novel is filled with violence incurred by Papa, a devoutly Catholic, upon his family. Whenever any person did not stand up to Papa's expectation or failed to obey him, he would beat them, whip them, or even burn them with hot water. Yet, the family believed that he loved him and they loved him back.

But this love was not out of emotions of respect but fear, planted by Papa into their hearts. He manipulated them into believing them that he love them and his act of beating are out of love. Thus the family also loved him back.
