Abstract
In the 21st century, one of the major roles of the English language in building a corporate youth image for sustainable development, peace, and security in Nigeria is in the area of creative writing. Many scholars are concerned about domestic violence in African society, particularly in Nigeria, especially in Igbo society, where domestic violence is a serious subject matter. Women are subjected to lots of maltreatment, suppression, and relegation to the background as a result of man's chauvinism. The aim of this study is to examine forms of domestic violence in African society by using the work of Chimamanda Adichie's "Purple Hibiscus." The study adopts a brand of snail sense feminism propounded by Akaihi Adimura Ezeigbo as its theoretical framework, while thematic analysis is employed to analyze Adichie's "Purple Hibiscus," which captures many issues of domestic violence and provides insight into the world of domestic violence in African society. Another perspective advocates that African women can overcome domestic violence through education, maturity, and dialogue.
