It affected the nations in totality from their lives to culture that later made way out in to their agitation as catharsis in their writing contributing to the development of the Commonwealth Literature. Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, Cyprian Ekwensi shouldered this responsibility to lead the literature to the mainstream literature voicing their unrest. In the Things Fall Apart, Chinua Achebe brings out that unrest on the very first page citing the lines of WB Yeats about the harsh reality of agony and unrest caused due to the colonialism and neocolonialism. But the male writers seem to be influenced more by the colonialism and their culture which held a bare respect for the African women by treating as only subservient. | | Keywords : | | |
