. Chapter 16: It's All About Sex... Chapter 17: ...Except Sex


The key ideas from these chapters are that "scenes in which sex is coded rather than explicit can work at multiple levels and sometimes be more intense than literal depictions" (141), and “. . . these scenes mean something more than what’s going on in them. It’s true in life as well, where sex can be pleasure, sacrifice, submission, rebellion, resignation, supplication, domination, enlightenment, the whole works” (150-1). Even though no actual sex happens in Purple Hibiscus, discuss a scene or two in which the novel suggests sexuality or sexual tension and how these scenes might be meaningful for the reader

The relationship between Father Armandi and Kambili underscores Kambili's identification with his body and her romantic intentions.

How is this scene meaningful to the reader?

  • The scene shows how repression distorted Kambili's view of herself.
  • The scene shows how religious fanaticism oppresses people's emotions.
  • The scene underscores how much Kambili was deprived of expressing what she felt and what she wanted to do.

Kambili lived with a very oppressive family where religious fanaticism, sexism, and violence prevented her from getting involved in subjects that presented romantic and emotional concepts. However, she had an awakening to these issues with the relationship and sexual tension between her and Father Armandi.

This scene highlights the feeling of liberation in the reader, as it shows how Kambili came to have a greater vision of herself, her body, and her thoughts.
