According to the description, we can see that Abeeba is a very strong and corpulent woman, unlike her husband. The author decided to give a wife so different from her husband so that it would be possible for her to bring about the changes he could not bring about.

Although you have not shown the text to which this question refers, we can state, through the context of your question, that you are referring to "The Prophet of Zongo Street."

By reading this story, we can see that:

  • Mallam Sile is a merchant, very popular, and kind.
  • He is an average-looking man, slight, but very friendly.
  • The people in the town end up taking advantage of his personality and appearance, proving damages in his shop and acting very negatively towards him.
  • One day, he travels and comes back married. His wife's name is Abeeba.
  • Abeeba is a strong, portly, and very smart woman.
  • She quickly realizes how her husband is treated badly by people, and how customers take advantage of him.
  • So she starts taking action to stop that from happening.

At first, the reader may wonder why the author gave a wife to Mallam Sile, so different from him. However, this difference between the two is essential to establish very important changes in history.

Answer:

The given lines are taken from the book "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston.

Explanation:

Zora Neale Hurston's <em>Their Eyes Were Watching God</em> tells the story of African American women trying to survive in the world of the white authority. The narrator Janie tells her friend Phoeby about her three husbands and the life she had to live, trying to survive.

The given passage is spoken by Nanny/ Janie's grandmother after her first marriage to Logan Killicks. And for Nanny, the union was a successful deal done, with land and a lawful husband, and all things that white women have. The passage reveals Nanny telling her granddaughter how a man and a woman should love equally. A man must have his pride and love a woman right, not kiss her foot and leg. Just like Nanny said <em>"when dey got to bow down tuh love, dey soon straightens up</em>". If he's kissing her foot and leg, meaning treating her too well, then there's only a short time when he will get back to his usual self.
