How is the title “Marriage Is a Private Affair” ironic?
Nutka1998 [239]

The title “Marriage Is a Private Affair” ironic because:

The marriage of Nnaemeka and Nene is not private at all because <u>it is discussed by the entire village.</u>

Nnaemeka's father Okeke was against the decision of Nnaemeka of marring Nene because she belonged to a tribal group. Such reserved and orthodox thinking was not just restricted to Okeke but were the thinking of the entire village. After their marriage, the women of the village didn't include Nene in any of the village affairs. Where marriage should be a totally private affair Nnaemeka's and Nene's marriage becomes a public one.

In “At Dusk,” what do the speaker’s thoughts reveal about her ideas concerning home? Use two details from the poem to support yo
kati45 [8]

Answer:

In her poem, Natasha Trethewey´s description of home shows that, despite being usually a comfortable place, it can take away the possibility of exploring new and more interesting places.

Explanation:

This idea arises from the image of a cat choosing whether to go back home or not. Staying outside is described as a “luminous possibility—all that would keep her away from home".

Then, Trethewey states that her observation of the cat led her to wonder if she could be able to get someone to come back to her home, questioning if her voice would be "enough to call someone home".
