USE OF CHIMERIC EXPRESSION AS LAST RESOURCE OF UNFORTUNATE SITUATION IN CALIXTHE BEYALA’S C’EST LE SOLEIL QUI M’A BRULÉE AND TU T’APPELLERAS TANGA

Abstract

The study focuses on denunciation of unfavourable condition of African woman in the patriarchal system using chimerical language as tool for criticisms against man always being empowered whereas woman is made to perpetually bow down receiving all sorts of abuses. Over centuries, woman who is considered as a weak sex is now finding ways of dismissing the malicious prejudices that she is a weak sex. For the purpose of this studies, the two novels completely denounce the scrupulous manner in which women has been maltreated. It also throws more light on the struggle for emancipation around which the conflict of gender is situated. Women through the use of chimeric language do everything possible calling for change in the patriarchal system. The choice of feminine characters as protagonists makes the scene efficient and original of the real situation of African woman
