Achebe was was one of the first people to come out and say that Conrad's novel was racist. When Achebe did come out and say that it was in the mid 1990's, and Conrad's book was written in the late 1700's. So many years had gone by without any controversy. You stated in your essay that "this has been said many times before " when actually Achebe was one of the first. But besides that very well written.

This essay wasn't entirely what I was looking for, but it wasn't bad. It could of used some deeper insight on how the Igbo women were the backbone of the society. Good job though. :)

I agree with everything in this essay. Women were poorly portrayed in this novel. They were made out to not be as good as the men, and often known just to be child bearing people.
