Studying the novel

The Title

Think about what the title signifies from your scope of knowledge, for example, what is your impression of the title of Chinua Achebe's 'The Arrow of God?'

As you read the text, your first impression of what the title 'Arrow of God' means may change as you understand the issues discussed in the literary work. The meaning of a title can be literal or symbolic.

Therefore, a discussion on the significance or relevance of a title can only be justified after the whole text has been read through.
