The Power of Setting in Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Adichie The tale Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Adichie, set in post-provincial Nigeria during the Civil War in the late 1960s, is a bildungsroman that centers extraordinarily around family connections just as strict and social standards. The entry depicting Kambili and Jaja's first feast at their Aunt's home in Nsukka gives a glaring difference to the abusive air in Enugu because of her dad's damaging nature. The opportunity and dynamic quality of Aunty Ifeoma's family unit regardless of their budgetary impediments dazes Kambili, while lifting the limitations on her life and presenting her to profoundly different qualities and convictions. Adichie portends the improvement of Kambili's character through the tremendous difference between her own home and the Nsukka family unit's open and adoring condition. Adichie stresses the representative setting in this section to effectively pass on the dissimilarity in perspectives of Kambili's and Aunty Ifeoma's families.
