摘要：The study investigates the various gender roles that fall within the traditional realm and the negative and positive attitudes of the gender on their own life. The study's significance stems from gender discussions in the context of symbolic interaction theory, which investigates the novel in terms of behaviour, physical appearance, sources of power, and communication patterns and compares it to the culture brought upon the Igbo culture of Africa. The study found that human action and interaction can only be understood through exchanging meaningful communication or symbols. The study also examined that man existed in both the natural and symbolic environments which invigorate man’s mental process with the help of the mutual meaning and values through symbols.
