Read the passage from "marriage is a private affair" by chinua achebe. in this passage, nnaemeka speaks first, and nene speaks second. "yes. they are most unhappy if the engagement is not arranged by them. in our case it’s worse—you are not even an ibo.” this was said so seriously and so bluntly that nene could not find speech immediately. in the cosmopolitan atmosphere of the city it had always seemed to her something of a joke that a person’s tribe could determine whom he married. at last she said, "you don’t really mean that he will object to your marrying me simply on that account? i had always thought you ibos were kindly disposed to other people.” "so we are. but when it comes to marriage, well, it’s not quite so simple. and this,” he added, "is not peculiar to the ibos. if your father were alive and lived in the heart of ibibio-land he would be exactly like my father.” "i don’t know. but anyway, as your father is so fond of you, i’m sure he will forgive you soon enough. come on then, be a good boy and send him a nice lovely letter . .” "it would not be wise to break the news to him by writing. a letter will bring it upon him with a shock. i’m quite sure about that.” which statement correctly analyzes this passage in terms of its historical context? nene realizes immediately that her marriage to nnaemeka will cause conflict in his family. nene is surprised how different her values are from people who live far from a city. nnaemeka does not understand how different nene’s values are from his family’s. neither nnaemeka nor nene believes that nnaemeka's family will object to the marriage.
