Gender Roles
editThe discussion of gender roles in the novel is too short--it only mentions "male" and "female" crimes. Since gender play such an integral role in the novel, this section really should be expanded. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.158.224.232 (talk) 20:32, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, but in order to expand them, we need reliable sources that provide this perspective. I'm quite sure they're out there -- but right now this article is swamped with original research. This should all be removed until we can provide citations. Scartol • Tok 14:34, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
- There is almost certainly a wealth of academic criticism and discussion of the way Achebe works with gender/masculinity in the past 12 years that should be looked into. 2601:43:181:4770:74F0:17A9:E688:9E21 (talk) 01:32, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- In that case, you are welcome to draw upon those discussions to improve the article. Wikipedia is built by volunteer editors who do this work, and that includes you.

Paragraph that I think needs splitting
editSpecifically, the paragraph comprising "[p]art 3". Could anyone please tell me if it needs splitting?--Thylacine24 (talk) 21:18, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- Be bold. If if you think you can improve it, do so. H. Carver (talk) 15:34, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
