  1. Marriage is a private affair. You should never be told to marry someone because of your culture, race, or family orgin tells you should. You should marry someone own your own terms or do what you feel is right. 1005414

    1. I agree with you 1005414 because marrying not for love is just like a false lie. There are many cultures around the world who do the same but as we grow older i feel as we should choose the path of our own happyness and marry who we want to and love. 825065

  2. The title Marriage is a Private Affair is an example of verbal irony. On our culture marriage equals choice. However, things are differently done in other places. In the Ibo tribe, marriage is arranged. In the story, we can see that marriage isn't a private affair because Nnaemeka can't marry who he wants and the whole tribe protests on the news of the rebel Nnaemeka. ID 1004765

  3. My views upon Marraige is in similar agreements with anonymous 105414. Although our views involving marriage are similar, the significance of the title is for the fact that the conflict of the story was based upon arranged marriages. The conflict being the inapproval of the father to whom his son chose to marry. The title is not only a name of the story but a statement of the authors opinion upon how he/she views the terms of how marriage is arranged. 916080

  4. The title "Marriage Is A Private Affair",significance it has is that first of all marriage is between two people not more and the second part is the marriage between Nneameka and Nene is anything but private. In the story Okeke is outraged and very upset with the news Nneameka has given him that he will not marry Ugoyen the girl in their tribe his father has arranged in marriage but instead Nene who he loves. With the news his father let's his friends know about the situation and they discuss the reason that he has to be sick. Their solution is to go see a doctor which in Okeke's eyes is seen has ridicules. The title contains depth in each word on what the story is about. 785032

  5. The title in a way explains it self and is more of a statement the authur is saying.Also because some people look at marriage and follows the time school rules.I'm guessing that younger kids now a days dont agree on those belifes 991870
