Thesis Statement:
Gender is one of the most noteworthy and prominent themes explored in the novel Things Fall Apart. It is evident that there is a bold division line between the 2 genders; one receives more appreciation and value than the other. The term 'agbala' holds an important meaning in the igbo culture and all of the male characters aspire to disassociate themselves from that term as much as possible; this could arguably be the trigger to his high level of aggression and dominance over his wives.
OUTLINE
Paragraph 1:
Achebe illustrates the division line between females and males during that era by using offensive diction to describe women.
Paragraph 2:
It is suggested in the novel that there is conflict within males as well; they compete to be more masculine than one another.
Paragraph 3:
The women in the novel are shown to be degraded at all times throughout the novel.
