ESSAY ON: Esquivel & Achebe/A Comparison

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: A 5 page essay that argues that Laura Esquivel (Like Water for Chocolate, 1994) and Chinua Achebe (Things Fall Apart, 1994) both create characters who are incredibly strong-willed and also invested within their cultures in such a way that it narrows their focus toward other considerations. In other words, Esquivel's Mama Elena and Achebe's Okonkwo suffer their eventual fates due to their obsessive adherence to cultural paradigms, which they follow to the exclusion of all else. This rigid stance causes both characters to be primarily motivated by fear. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
