Characters in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah

Abstract

In this article, the main purpose has been the characterization of characters in the Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah. To carry out the task, the research has been conducted through the lenses of the deconstuction approach. Through the completion of the task, the characters have been divided into three groups namely major characters, the minor characters, and other characters. At the end of the investigation, it has been discovered there are two major characters in the novel. As for minor characters there are two characters as well. When it comes to other characters, although in this article their number has shortened to two characters, it should be mentioned that there are more characters who should belong to this last group of characters. This short number of characters belonging to other characters has been due to the constraint of the article size.
