AFRICA PROSE ADICHIE CHIMAMANDA NGOZI: Purple Hibiscus Discuss the relationship between Aunty Ifeoma and her...

Explanation

One can hardly talk about Aunty Ifeoma and Papa-Nnukwu without mentioning Eugene. Despite being brother and sister, the two have very different outlooks on life Eugene, because of his nature, has given up on his father, whom he considers to be hell-bound. Because of this conviction, Eugene will have as little as possible to do with his father.

Aunty Ifeorna, on the other hand, is fanatically devoted to their father, never once missing an opportunity to come to his defense. Several times she has told Eugene that labeling the old man as heathen is erroneous: if Papa-Nnukwu is not Catholic, he is a traditionalist not a heathen.

Aunty Ifeoma adores her father, whom she is careful to include in their Christmas sightseeing. She listens to his stories no matter how many times he has told them. There is a special intimacy between the old man and his daughter. Papa-Nnukwu on his part loves his daughter deeply. He respects her tenacity as a single mother in their kind of society. She is permanently in his prayers. Papa-Nnukwu prays for his daughter-that her circumstances may turn around.

Petrol is in short supply when Papa-Nnukwn's health fails. Thanks to Father Amadi
