ESSAY ON: Achebe/Gender in Dead Men's Path

Number of Pages 6

This research paper: A 6 page essay that discusses Chinua Achebe's short story "Dead Men's Path." In this narrative, Michael and Nancy Obi represent Nigerians who have been thoroughly assimilated into the mindset and cultural values of the colonizing British. As such, their behavior is geared toward Western gender expectations rather than toward the cultural paradigm of the native people of the village. Examination of Achebe's characterization of Michael and Nancy illuminates how Western stereotypical gender behavior is mirrored in the relationship between Michael, as a symbol of authority, and the village people. Bibliography lists 5 sources, but 2 references for sources are incomplete.
