I like your thesis topic. All you need to do is figure out why Achebe is more negative. I will point out though that I think the depiction of Nwoye in Things Fall Apart does offer insights into some of the positive aspects of European inflouence in Nigeria and therefore some of the shortcomings of the Ibo culture. One is a tragedy and one is comedy--albeit a dark one. Is this going to be a problem for you
I'm fairly busy right now but i'll work on a paragraph before I leave on Friday. I feel that Nwoye is used to show positive aspects of European culture but also his part of the story shows how those positive aspects were negativly viewed by many Ibo people (including Okonkwo). As for Merchant of Venice it's fairly good and probably will get better since we have only seen/read the first act.

Please send an outline or a paragraph. What do you think of The Merchant of Venice?
