Which statement correctly analyzes this passage in terms of
its historical context?
read the passage from "marriage is a private affair" by
chinua achebe. in this passage, nnaemeka speaks first,
and nene speaks second.
"yes. they are most unhappy if the engagement is not
arranged by them. in our case it's worse-you are not even
an ibo."
this was said so seriously and so bluntly that nene could
not find speech immediately. in the cosmopolitan
atmosphere of the city it had always seemed to her
something of a joke that a person's tribe could determine
whom he married.
nene realizes immediately that her marriage to
nnaemeka will cause conflict in his family.
nene is surprised how different her values are from
people who live far from a city.
nnaemeka does not understand how different nene's
values are from his family's.
neither nnaemeka nor nene believes that nnaemeka's
family will object to the marriage.
at last she said, "you don't really mean that he will object to
your marrying me simply on that account? i had always
thought you ibos were kindly disposed to other people."
"so we are. but when it comes to marriage, well, it's not
quite so simple. and this," he added, "is not peculiar to the
mark this and return
save and exit
