    • @TheEnglishCherry

      Chinua Achebe is famous for the successive use of the local culture in his fictional writings. His fiction draws heavily on the oral tradition of Igbo people (his own community). He waves folktales into the fabric of his stories. The use of proverbs, sayings, and idiomatic expressions are another hallmarks in his writing style. For him, proverbs and folklores are the total sum of his people‟s oral traditions. These folktales are not mere digressions but fully functional narrative progressions, not only superfluous anthropological data, but meaningful metaphors, illuminating the special context in which they are used. By sprinkling the language with proverbs and other cultural references, Achebe slowly and naturally introduces the reader to Ibo culture. Achebe's honest and stunning style makes him the ideal spokesman for African Literature, or as little of it as the West can understand.
      And if you want examples then Please drop a massage in the telegram group @The_English_cherry, so that the various examples occurring in the text can be provided in pdf, in a detailed manner.

    It would have been great if the characters were shown with their names throughout the video. But thanx for the video.

      Purpose behind not mentioning it was to make the characters memorise in one go.But don’t worry I will mention them throughout, in the upcoming videos.

    Pls what was your assessment of acebe's use of the phyton in the text, pls reply

    • @TheEnglishCherry
      @TheEnglishCherry  2 года назад

      When Achebe uses the python in "Lament of the Sacred Python," in Things Fall Apart and in Arrow of God, he is using a symbol which has significance in terms of the West African religious/mythic environment, as well as one which belongs to the archetypes of world myth (snakes as phallic symbols and symbols of immortality). What seems significant about Achebe's use of the python is that it always appears in the same type of episode. It is always portrayed in a situation in which a Christian commits sacrilege against it. Furthermore, the Christian, significantly, is neverEuropean,but rather always African. The python episodes suggest,therefore, not just a turning away from old traditions, but a flaunting and despising of them.
