THE CRITICAL STYLISTIC ANALYSIS OF MALE CHARACTERIZATION IN THE REBELLION OF THE BUMPY-CHESTED BY STELLA DIA OYEDEPO

Abstract

The feminist movement has been a contending issue recently as there have been calls for gender equality in all facets of life owing to the injustice meted out to them; hence, it is in this regard that this research seeks to carry out a stylistic analysis of the Revolt on the Bumpy Chested by Stella Oyedepo. This stylistic research underpins how the author exemplifies the idea of feminism in the text in contrast with the reaction of men alike. It focuses on the tools that aid how she maximally underscores her characters to spiral the feministic ideology. This research critically considers how women are empowered for roles meant for men and how this transition is enveloped in the text.
