“[Nene] is a good Christian,” his son went on, “and a teacher in a girls’ school in Lagos.” “Teacher, did you say?

This passage is an example of __________.
a. racial bias
b. character vs. self conflict
c. generational dilemma
d. falling action
Answer: The right answer is the C) Generational dilemma.
Explanation: In this excerpt from the short story "Marriage Is a Private Affair" by African novelist Chinua Achebe (1930-2013) there is a clear reference to the generational differences that exist between a father and his son. For the son, Nnaemeka, the fact that Nene (the woman he loves and the one that he wants to marry) is a well-educated woman, who has a career and works in a school are good qualities, but for his father, who belongs to a previous generation, they are not. Women, he believes, are meant to be exclusively wives, and a good wife, and a good Christian woman, should not work outside the household.
