ABSTRACT

Purple Hibiscus is set in postcolonial Nigeria, a country beset by political instability and economic difficulties. The aim of the study is to examine the Psychology in Chimamanda Adichie's Purple Hibiscus. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were set out to examine the variety called Nigerian English and establish its existence, do a thorough analysis of the elements of Nigerianisms in Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus, examine how Adichie has succeeded in exploring the English language, exposing it to Nigerian local concepts and ideas, examine the trauma of Domestic Violence in Chimamanda Adichie's Purple Hibiscus, assess the trauma of Social Forces in Chimamanda Adichie's Purple Hibiscus, ascertain the trauma of Emotional Mishaps, and evaluate the traumatic experiences of Nigerian women in its various facets as represented in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus This study will contribute to a re-evaluation and re-examination of the traditional Psychological in Chimamanda Adichie's Purple Hibiscus, which seeks to locate “phallic symbols” or the libidinal symptoms of the authors of literary texts. This is biographical criticism, which no matter how profound it is, “seems to encourage a wrong sort of psychoanalysis of art”. It is also believed that it may “illuminate the creative process but the goings-on in the psyche itself are not central as such to literature since they are only preparatory to the act of creation”.
