Oppression as Denial of Self Definition This paper analyzes the theme of oppression in Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God, Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis and Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart. The paper argues specifically that oppression in all of these works takes the form of systematic denial of individuals' right to self definition, with the external system imposing its artificial definitions on marginalized groups.
