The Lens

The lens I am going to use to analyze Things Fall Apart is Feminist take on life. Women have always been the ones who stay home and are told what to do by men. So, in my essay I will explain how in the Ibo culture, women stay at home and take orders from their husbands. They do whatever they ask of and are even beaten for doing the slightest thing wrong. I will also quote from the book that Okonkwo beats his wife in the Week of Peace. He also almost kills one of his wives by shooting his gun at her.
Another thing I will be quoting is the recent study on how more men are getting more jobs than women in retailing, which has always been a women's suite. It was even stated in the US Today" manufacturers have added more than 250,000 men and cut 33,000 women." Which is a big deal going on just stating how the economy is.
So im going to state how women are second compared to men. They are put second in tough times and dont get to make the choices. Men are superior and as it seems, they always will be.
