Marriage Is a Private Affair by Chinua Achebe

Three different western marriage habits influenced the story of Chinua Acebbe "Marriage is a private matter". This is about Nnaemeke and Nene. Nnaemeke is a wart, but Nene came from different places in the country. They suggested that they fell in love, Nnameke. Then Nnaemeke received a letter to tell him about the planned marriage arrangements from his father. Very disappointed, Nnaemeke returned home and told his father that he would not marry anyone but Nene. Nnaemeke was kicked out of his father's house and no longer wanted it.

Support by Katherine Stockett and Marriage is a personal matter of Chinua Achebe. These two stories are set for a certain period, during which Apartheid is a daily life, not as bad as it is now. But in this statement, what apartheid morality we have today, especially not as important as the color of the skin, is retained by some people who actually confront this discrimination. This took several measures. .

In Chinua Achebe's "Marriage is a private matter" and Zhang Jie's "Love can not forget", they explore individual problems seeking love and fulfillment in a changing culture. In these two stories, the hero is facing many obstacle problems during their real love. They have to choose whether to obey their minds or follow their culture. "Marriage is a private matter", Nnaemeka has to decide whether he will obey his father or marry a person he loves. In this first sentence, "I will never see her" is the answer. From that night, my dad hardly talked to my son. (P.191) Whether my wife is more important. This is a complicated decision for Nnaemeka. It is because he must choose either a man who raises him or a woman he loves.
