Essay from the year 2021 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2, Klagenfurt University (Anglizistik), course: Literary studies, language: English, abstract: This paper will focus on the female characters in Chimamanda Ngozi's short story "The Thing on Your Neck" written in a gender-suppressing manner. The paper will portray the role of women in a patriarchal society. The paper will also analyze the sexism in the story to analyze how African women are portrayed and treated. The story of Chimamanda Ngozi consists of Akuna who represent the marginalization, victimization, and alienation of a Nigerian woman in America. By interpreting them in the circumstances of feminist criticism, the marginalization of female roles will be at the forefront. The stories include topics such as domestic violence, tolerance, loyalty, national identity, and self-realization related to female roles. The short story "Things Around Your Neck" includes various feminine symbols that show signs of resistance to deprivation of power. For instance, Akuna left her uncle's house after being sexually harassed.
