Question

Which statement bestdescribes how a feminist analysis and

Answer 1

Answer:

A feminist analysis would focus on how the men discuss  Mrs. Ochuba. A historical analysis would focus on  whether using a native doctor was considered  superstitious at the time and place the story depicts.

Explanation:

In Chinua Achebe's Marriage Is A Private Affair, the story of how marriage and tradition are related led to the many contrasting approaches to the lives of the people in the African region. Nnaemeka's reluctance in informing his father about his plans to marry Nene, another girl from the city, shows how the various beliefs and traditions of marriage are viewed by the rural and urban people.

From the given excerpt, we can see that Nnaemeka's father, like the rest of the villagers, have a strong patriarchal attitude. And from a historical point of view, the analysis of the scene will focus on the issue of the use of the native doctor and whether it was considered superstitious at that time and place. This analysis will focus on the historical time and place of the story, the society and the region. But a feminist analysis will focus on how Mrs. Ochuba was portrayed by the men in the story. These two opinions will differ from their point of view.
